      Looks like a late model IIa just like the one in my 71.

        I'd guess it must be a pretty late IIA or a Series III. Saying that because it has the selector shaft adjuster (the circular thing at the bottom right of the transmission in your first shot). That means it has all helical gears in the transfer box which I BELIEVE would mean it couldn't be an earlier vintage (anyone confirm this?).

        Scott is right, get the suffix. It's on the top of the transmission right by the flat square cover.

        The fact that it doesn't have an overdrive suggests to me that it's pretty original, but really, who knows until you open it up.

          Not a III has the earlier clutch mechanism.
          And not a early IIa as it doesn't have the cap on the shifter rod cover.

                      No, no, no. It was put together by Bob, on a Friday. I think it was raining that day too, so you may find washers for the speedo pinion shaft plate missing as he hated going out to the shed to get them in foul weather.

                        Once he figures it all out he will find that Bob is his uncle.

                          He will also note that Bob was in fact a monkey

                            LRFAQ basically says it's a Nov 1970 truck. Between that, other comments, and Andrew's source, looks like you've got a late IIA transmission, suffix F.

                            That should be enough to get parts from RN or post it on Craigslist if you're looking to sell.
