Don't know nuthin about Mustangs. :/
The only two 4-speeds I've known to be behind FE's are T18's or a New Process 435.
...has it been swapped to a T19? ...synchronized in first and reverse?
I'm betting on a T18. :)

Avoid the mustang T5s. They could barely handle the power from the 5.0. They also will not bolt up to a 390 without some tomfoolery. The easy way to tell which 4 speed you have, NP435 has an aluminum cover, t18-19 has a cast cover. The t18-19 also has a screw on shifter retainer, the 435 has one you have to push down and twist to get out. Other dead giveaways, the numbers on the side.
T18=1301
T19=1309 The diesel and gas versions have different first gear ratios as well, varying from 4:1 to almost 7:1
NP=has a NP inside of a gear.

T 18 from '66 to '78 shift over and up for R, later over and down. They list the T18 from '65-'85. Note the reference of '66 or '65 as a start date, as listed on that site I can't mention. Certainly there are other sources for this info.
T 19 = synchro first, as per prev. post. It also seems both the T19 & 18 were offered side by side for several model years, as they list the T19 from '74 to '88.

As for the 5 speed idea. What do you want, sporty or back 40? You are looking at the NV 4500 for a truck trans:
High Impact - NV4500 5spd
If you want a road-race transmission, you need to think TKO or T56 or other higher capacity trans. Info, transmissions here:

Good luck.

Ooops. ;)
My '75 F150 came with the T18 and my buddy's "no bed" '76 F350 did too.
(he made a cattle hauler out of it)
Doggonit, his daughter's '75 F350/460/mush box stock trailer hauler went
belly-up and they put "my;)" 360/T18 in it ...then her truck got stolen and
we've never seen it again. "my spare FE and T18 went south :)"
