Nv4500
The NV 4500 was, if my memory serves me right, never OEM in a Ford truck. They were used in late 80's early '90s GM trucks behind almost everything (Any of those GM's with Deep Low and Overdrive, that's the 4500), and Dodge used them after '94, but I'm not sure of the exact years. I know this trans was put behind everything from the 4.3 GM V-6, the 305-350 (5.0/5.7), the 454 (7.4), and the Mopar 318/360 (5.2/5.9), the 488 (8.0) V-10, and the Cummins Diesels, so it's definitely a stout trans. I'd check advance adapters, they make different bellhousings for dang near anything (GM Muncie 420 to AMC V-8, etc.).
