It appears to be a 3-speed toploader, with very short extension housing.
Is there a tag on it with numbers? If so, i can i.d. it for you.
My 56 has a 64 Galaxie 352/390 3 speed toploader, was three-on-the-tree,
no shifter mounts on extension housing.
If the speedo drive is on the left hand side, the gear is left handed,
the reverse of standard 4-speed toploader.

It looks a lot like the 3 speed that I had in my truck, now on a shelf. So a cable from a '61 F100 will probably work and I imagine just about any newer cable will have the right transmission end because I now use the same cable with the T5.

Ford called these all syncro transmissions the 303 (first gear ratio) which was a good heavy duty 3 speed in 60's.

It derived it's '3.03' name from the actual measurement in inches of the distance between the countershaft and input shaft centerlines.
