T-18 is unsynchronized; T-19 has synchros.
NP-435 has the "NP" gear cast into the side.
They're pretty much interchangeable.

Is the early 70S 4spd a NP435?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 29-Nov-02 AT 09:59 PM (EST)]Probably a T-18, according to http://www.motivegear.com/tech_info/tranny_guide/tranny_guide.html

Could be either the T-18 or NP-435 as they were both used in early 70's trucks. The only way you're going to know for sure is to crawl underneath and look for the tag on the PTO cover, the NP symbol, or the shift tower. The NP shift tower will be aluminum. The Borg Warner will be cast steel. Bring a magnet.
The T-19, with it's synchronized first gear, wasn't around until sometime in the very late 70's or very early 80's.

If you pull the older tranny, some food for thought:
Check your input shaft length and spline count. Some of these transmissions may not readily fit up. Spline counts and shaft lengths changed.
