Is your truck a 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive? Is the Mustang a 3.8 or 4.0?

The transmissions will physically exchange, but the electronics are different. To make a transmission from anything 98 or newer work in one 97 or older, either the bulkhead connector and internal electronics will have to be swapped or the harness on the 97 will have to be repinned to work with the newer stuff.

It is really easy to make that Mustang transmission work you know. The OSS (the thing you called the speed control mod) can be swapped over.

I could do the things it takes to get this done in less than half an hour and have time left for a cup of coffee. It really is that easy.
