1st you need a gasket. Ford or your local trans shop will have one.
Next is removing the driveshafts
then t-case shifter linkage
drain the t-case
put drain pan under rear of trans
unbolt 6 bolts holding t-case to trans(watch for fluid)
remove t-case

There is NO seal in/on the tail housing of a 4wd transmission unless we were working on a Dodge/Jeep. And since they have seals in the tail housing and on the transfer case, they don't have a gasket between them. They have a weep hole at the bottom.

With 4wd Ford and GM autos, yes. You are correct. 2wd's have a lip seal on the end of the extension housing that the drive shaft yoke slides into.

And OP, you sure it's a C6?
I thought you could only special order the C6 for 3/4 tons and up. Not half tons. Because the E4OD came out in '89 and was basically the go-to heavy duty trans for half ton trucks after it came out.

My '88 F-150 with the Mazda 5 speed manual has a gasket between the transmission and transfer case, and there SHOULDN'T be any fluid there. One reason for the gasket would be to keep dirt and water out. Being a medium thickness gasket it would also give a bit of a cushioning effect IMO. I know many would argue about the cushioning effect. I sure didn't know the automatic 4X4 transmissions didn't have a rear seal.

I have the gasket. And I was told it had a c6. I no another guy with an f150 that has a c6 trans. It's stock they didn't do nothin to it. The truck sat a year and a half and during that time the gasket went out and it leaked trans fluid. A guy I know said that the get going slippage it has is because it's low on fluid and there might be some rust on the gears. He said it just need driven. And will the case just drop like should I put a jack under it to bring it down nice?

It should have an E4OD.
Low fluid will cause slippage.
Shouldn't be rust on anything inside of the trans unless there's water in the trans, and if there's water in the trans and it's slipping, it needs to be pulled and tore down to evaluate what all is tore up.

They use the same type of fluid, but if I'm not mistaken you do fill them separately and they need to have a seal between them. Otherwise the trans fluid goes downhill into the t.case, overfilling it.

Transfer case has a lip seal on the input shaft. It keeps fluid from the trans getting into the transfer case, and keeps fluid for the transfer case inside the transfer case.
The gasket that goes between the tranny and transfer case is there so fluid from the tranny won't leak out due to the fact that Ford didn't put an output shaft seal on the 4x4 autos.
