If it's a 74-79 J-20 w/AT it's BW/QT x-case and TH400 tranny.
If it's an 80-87 it's the 727 trans and 208 x-case. Gears will be either 3.73's or 4.09's depending on year/option.

Guess I missed the 'hoghead' part...no all QT's ran a off-center to the pass side rear diff. The 80 ups all have centered rear diffs drivers side diffs on the front axles.
Still sounds like a good deal for $350 though.
