727 Truck Trans VS 727 HP trans differences

Ha! No, but it looks like it leaked and was operated in a dusty dirty environment and everything stuck to it!

Here's the truck rear mount. I see that the tailshaft does have the holes for the shifter linkage!View attachment 1846326

Not sure what makes it a truck mount, but it's a car ext housing

It doesn't have a vin stamp and for those of you that don't like looking at "Dirty Pictures",
I just went out and squirted it with Purple Power!!!!

I think the mid 70s to late 70s transmissions and rear mounts were basically the same. I removed a 727 from a van once it looked just like that one, although I don't remember if it had the floor shifter linkage bosses on it. Later in the 70s or early in the 80s the truck tailhousing changed with extra strengthening ribs and the moving the little plate that covers the big snap ring to the side instead of the bottom. It really does not matter what it is if not using it for restoration. Build it and run it.

I found a transmission parts recycling and remanufacturing business near me that sells four and
five steel planets for $80.00. I put them in my 727 in my GTX. Had John Cope run his broach
through them to fit my 68 output shaft splines. The aluminum planets scare me. Thinking about
looking for a billet front drum maybe???? I dunnow. We'll see.

78 440 painted on it, car tailshaft. Bet it's out of a Fury Pursuit cop car or something like that. When you say no vin stamp are you saying there's nothing marked on the pan rail? I have one attached to a 77 440HP out of a cop car and it doesn't have any numbers on it. Been wondering what's inside too.

No, the vin would be near the top of the trans adjacent to the vin stamp at the back of the block.
There is nothing there. The pan rail markings were noted in a previous post. 78 truck according
to the master list.
