V8Coopman - excellent description of the situation!

rotorwrench - also very helpful! I have one of those transmissions in an 86 F150 4x4 that has 360K+ on the clock. I've had it rebuilt twice in the past 32 years but have used and abused it during that time. With 3.50:1 rear gearing it's just about perfect and would be fine behind a flatty except for lack of support. I plan to use it for that until it gives up the ghost next time.
