Not sure about the C4, but the C6 defenentlly will fit, only if it came off the same engine family as what ever engine you have in yours. 300 6cyl, 302 and 351 is 1 type, 460 is a different bell housing, and Diesels have a unique bell housing.

honestly... I would go with the 3spd C6... it is rugged and super cheap to find and rebuild one! I mean seriously Ford used the C6 design for 20-30-40 years...??? AOD would only be better if you want a 4spd auto tranny for highway driving... if you rebuilt a C6 and put it in your truck the rest of the truck would be broken and in the scrap yard before the tranny gave out... I would private message "hav24wheel" and ask him how to put a resistor in... You need to in order to fool your computer since the E40D is a computer controled tranny... the computer will look for the tranny and will start acting up if it doesn't find said tranny... IE trick the computer with a resistor... hav24wheel just swapped his E40D with a ZF so he'll fill you in...
