I believe my 3 speed column shift is the Ford 3.03 as installed from the factory in 10/83. Its designated as Code C on the sticker in the drivers door jamb.

Other 3 speeds of the era could have been:

Code D-Warner T-89
Code E-Warner T-87

The 3.03 is one tough gear box. I've ran it hard and only changed the gear oil once at 100,000 miles. Now I'm over 200,000 miles and should prolly do it again

It's the 3.03. The T-89 wasn't offered in a ford after '71 and the T-87 wasn't offered after '75.

my 3/4 ton 1985 460 had a t18 in it but i put a t19 in it because it was kinda unpracticle to drive around town with a granny gear.

I dont think the VIN tells you anything about the tranny from 80 up. I could be wrong but mine makes no reference to the transmission. Its that little sticker in the door jamb if its still there.

No.. the T19 was the 460/diesel transmission(83 up), and that's all it was found behind, and nothing else was put behind either engine from the factory.
300, 302, or 351W, and it was a T18 or NP 435, SROD, or TOD(these last two are 100/150 only)

The 460 4wd trucks for the most part got the 6.32:1 gearset in the T19, just like a T18A, only fully syncronised, and with 2 pto ports

yeah, it has a granny gear, so it would be the T-18 then? or a t-19?

and if so, what is the granny gear ratio..just for curiousity? ... 6.32:1?

My 85 F250 4x4 460 has the T-19. 160k and commercial snowplowing every winter since 87, and it hasn't skipped a beat.
