If the tail shaft is the same it will work. Other things to consider, the shift lever, the case might not have the bolt holes for the neu/rev switch.

The shifter lever may be either in the up or down position on the C6. Make sure it is the same as your '79. It's not too hard to remove and flip around, just need to drop the pan, trans filter, and then you'll have access to it. Much easier on a bench than already in the truck.
