Look under your hood or on the radiator support and you might find the build sheet decal that states what transmission is in the truck....most likely a 46 RE but not positive

If you are experiencing the overdrive unit, not quite going back on issue, the unit has to be dissembled, there is a one way sprag that has to be aligned to slide back into the main shaft on transmission. When I build one of these, I have an old main shaft that I've cut off. After reassembly of unit, I pull the shaft out. BEWARE... if you try to tear unit apart, there is a spring inside that has 800 ft lbs of load on it. Ya..., 800 lbs. you have to use a press during disassembly and assembly. Use care. Danger zone.....
