Trans identification

My brother in-law asked me if i could tell him what transmission he had. He was told its a c4 out of a 60's bronco, but it doesn't look like a normal c4. It has a small horseshoe bend in the cover.

Does this sound familiar? How do you identify a c4 in a older 4x4?

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is what I have on C4/C6 id info: Kelly hotrod - Ford C4/C6 transmission data and links The C4 in the Bronco was specific to that vehicle with a pan fill design, and don't think they were offered till in the 70"s, can't remember exact year.

a C4 came out in 1964 & a C6 came out in 1966, makes it easy to remember, a C4 pan has a little rounded part where the dipstick goes thru the case, is that what bend you are talking about?

Thanks for the great reply's. The folks on this site are top notch.

He did say the dip stick mounted to the pan and it had a funny indentation. I will forward this information to him to help him Identify what he has.
