Maybe an older conversion...I think just shaft, rear housing and yoke are needed to convert from closed to open.

A better pic of the whole box would help, but It does look like a stock 3 speed, with some sort of industrial or marine conversion. I don't think that setup is a standard ford setup from a truck. The box may be able to be converted back to a conventional closed driveline.

It was probably designed for some vehicle because it has a speedometer drive.

3 speed top loader from a 3/4 ton truck, 1940 and up. the rear mount and open drive line give it away. This is what is in my 41 3/4 . Same mount is used in open driveline 4 speed trans also 1940 up, this is what is in my 41 1 1/2 ton and my 1951 1 1/2 ton. these 78 cases were the ones that the old racers wanted--thicker bottoms and could be converted to closed driveline

Thanks for the info, would I presume that would have been the "light duty" option in a 3/4 ton??
