All of the Fords had the wide ratio model. The one that GM used in the light trucks was the 4.56 low gear model. Short throw, smooth shifting close ratio (well, a lot closer than a 465 anyway) transmission that is as stout as a 465. I like mine much better than the 465s I've had but if I was pulling a large trailer near the max gross combined weight limit, I'd like a 465 (or a TH-400). My truck was ordered as a camper hauler and I heard somewhere that these NP435 were considered better for this type of usage.
