transmission code on my vin# plate is "c", looking at the decoder is says its a 3 speed ford light duty, "g" says automatic, this truck i have is an automatic, would it be correct to say the transmission has been changed? or could "c" mean it could also be an automatic 3 speed?


thanks dave

 

my bad, upon closer inspection the letter is "g"

 

"G" could be either a C-4 automatic or, it could be for a C-6 automatic. It just depended on what the engine was. Bumpside Inline sixes or a 302 would have had a C-4. A 352, 360 or 390 would have had a C-6. --the 'small-block' C-6 wasn't installed behind a 302 until later on in the Dentside trucks.

 

it's a 360, the leg of my "G" was warn a bit, looking at it closer i could see it really is a G
thanks

 

In that case, you would have a C-6.

 

Roll under and check it out. Yours would be a C6 for that vintage and engine:
