89 XLT Trans??
Just bought another truck.... 89F150 XLT. It's pretty rusty but the drive train feels/sounds good and the money was right... at least for me.
The door tag is hard to read and I can't tell what the trans code is... it looks like a "T", but I don't see that code in my chart. I know it is a 302 and axle code is "H9" which I should be a 3.55 LS. Previous owner says it is an OD tranny ... it is NOT the one with a button on the dash. Gear selector reads P-R-N-D-2-1
Of course I have no way of knowing if column or tranny has been replaced.
Any help appreciated!

He asked this same question in the Iowa Chapter Forum. The question was answered, it's an AOD.
The answer came from the: 1980/89 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog.
Automatic transmission application chart, Section A70, page 26.

Thanks all.... I thought it got lost here as it flew to the second page quickly with only a view or 2. Sorry i doubt that folks would go back that far. I'll be more patient next time.
Appreicate the info here as well as I thought the shift indicatiors were odd not showing OD anywhere.
I'm going to go ahead and crawl under it. I really suspect this thing have had parts swapped in and out of it. I remember seeing the pan shape to identify.

I quit updating mine. Except mine are all beaters. lol - I find so many out there that I bought a tow dolly. I quit dreaming about projects... I have probably owned 10 trucks in the last 2 years. I was down to 2 truck Tuesday morning, but I am up to 4 now. Tow dolly runs on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

geez - it's confirmed. I'm an idiot. Column markings i posted were from another truck. I counted pan bolt, looked at the column again in the light, and the door tag says "T". Everything matches up to AOD as Numberdummy stated.
