Thanks for replying Ed. Here are a few additional pictures.

I see from your photo that you have a 4 speed transmission. If reverse is to the lower left in the shift pattern, you have the more common SM-420. If reverse is to the right and down, you have the much less common NP-435, first available as an option in 1966.
Three of my trucks happen to have the optional power steering. The one that needs it the most, the '62 4x4 Suburban, is the one without it. Even with the 12" wide tires, though, I have no trouble driving it. I actually prefer the simplicity of not having it -- one less component to maintain.
