Welcome to FTE
You will need 1973/79 F100/350 460: R/L engine supports (aka towers, stands, perches ~ D3TZ-6028/6029-A). R/L brackets (D3TZ-6030/6031-A ~ these bolt to the block, the insulators bolt to these, then to the supports) and rubber insulators (2-D3TZ-6038-A).
The transmission bracket (D3TZ-6A023-A ~ same as 1973/76 F100/350 360/390 C6) and rubber insulator (1-D3TZ-6068-A).
460 Passenger Car engine mounting parts will not work in trucks, and no C6 (regardless of what year it is), came with overdrive.
You will discover that the C6 Passenger Car's output shaft and extension housing are a different length than what your C6 has now, necessitating modifying the driveshaft.
The only alternative is tearing the trans down, swapping in the output shaft/extension housing from your present C6, but unless you have A/T trans skills, I would not suggest doing this as you'll be opening a "can of worms."
btw: All the above parts are obsolete, I typed the Ford part numbers for clarification.
