If your J truck has a four speed, chances are that it is a T-18.
The T-18 is a heavy duty cast iron four speed with unsynchronized first gear.
The T-18A has an unsynchronized Granny low first gear with a ratio of 6.32.
The T-19 can be a direct swap (depending on the origin) for the T-18/A with the important difference of a synchronized Granny 1st.
