Heavy Duty C6?
I have a C6 trans that I pulled out of a truck (not original engine and trans combo) It appears to be a C6 but it has ribs on the bellhousing. I was told it is a HD version of the C6 but I need to make sure. If it is a HD C6 how rare are they? are they worth more than a normal C6 2wd trans? What makes them "Heavy Duty"
Thanks
Tom

Sure, let's see some pictures.
Mine has ribs, a small block bolt pattern, and a big 65 cast into the top of the bellhousing.
I've never heard of a heavy duty version of the C6. Well, other than the fact that a C6 IS a heavy duty transmission.

When I bought my truck, the PO gave me a spare 460/c6. He pointed out the ribs to me and told me it was a HD tranny. He claimed that they were more sought after than the non-ribbed ones.
That's just one guy's claim so take it for what it's worth.

The C6 to my 1970 429 has the exact same ribs. The only difference is that it has the slip yoke tailshaft which I think is longer than the pictured transmission. Did that tranny come out of a truck with a divorced transfer case or did they used to use the bolt on yoke? I can't recall ever seeing that type of yoke used on a 2WD truck transmission.

I pulled the 460 and tranny out of a 1970 1/2 ton 2wd truck. The engine is a 77 or something there about. I am pretty sure it was a truck engine, it did have the D6VE AA rods in it, (bonus day for me!!!)
I dont know anything about the history of the truck, The previous owner said it came from the factory with a 429, I just smiled and nodded my head .......because it was clear to me he didnt know either. I didnt argue with him, I just gave him the $250 and loaded it on the trailer.
My first impression is that the trans was from a car, but I am just guessing.
