Seems to me there was a four speed over drive as well, top loader that was
about bullet proof as well, also used in a few of the vans.

As I recall, the 80s F series trucks had 3, 4-sp trannys. The Warner
T-18/the NP435 and the SROD. The SROD (single-rail overdrive) had all
forward speeds syncronized, while the T-18 and the NP435 had a spur-gear
as 1st gear (granny gear). The SROD was more 'car like', but still very
strong and capable of truck work.

I have been looking at some mid to late 80's F150's and F250's. The ones
that had manual transmissions were all 4 speeds where first gear is a
"granny gear". Is this normal? I would think that most of the transmission
would be geared more like a car and not have the granny gear.
Thanks
Ted
