Do you mean this mid 80s Ford trans? From http://www.blueovaltrucks.com/tech/transmissions_manual.htm T170FT (Code-RTS) Top loaded 4 speed with 4th being overdrive. Aluminum case and shift tower. Found in Ford F100-250 light duty trucks from 1984-85, also known as a TOD (top shift overdrive) Produced in 2 and 4 wheel drive versions. Adapters for flathead are available from a few sources but the trans seem to be very hard to find. Makes a clean setup for an open drive rear. Popular with some Model A guys. Kits are very pricey to retain the closed drive. Several threads on this trans if you search.
