3 spd o/d tranny

can anybody shed some light on this for me? my 63 f100 uni has a 3 on the tree and an o/d pull cable mounted under the dash. But the cable isn't hooked to anything on the tranny, is there something special I should be looking for?

Sounds like the O/D trans was pulled and a plain 3 spd was installed. While underneath, can you see a plain tailhousing or the O/D unit? The O/D unit is in the tailhousing and if it is the O/D unit it will have a Govenor and a shifting solenoid sticking out of it. Very prominent and you can't miss them. You should also find a 'kickdown switch' at the throttle linkage if the pickup originally had the O/D trans installed.
