chances are with the th400 its a np 205... the only real way you can tell with out takin it out is to see if there is a small cap with three bolts in it between the rear output and the big circle cover plate in the rear... if the cap and bolts are there its a 205...
see the small circle inbetween...

th400 = turbo 400, the th stands for turbo hydromatic.

Originally, this truck would have had an NP205. 100%

A crew cab will have a 400 with a 205,

that turbo hydromatic 400 and new process 205 is a bad and weak combo
