You're correct, the Mustangs used the SROD. In a truck they are called a TOD (Toploader Over Drive). The internals are the same between the two, but the shifter is different. I believe it is made by Mazda. I had the same one in a '84 F150.
There should be a tag on the drivers side of the trans with all of the model numbers.
