75 F250 Vin decoding help

I have a 75 F250 supercab (camper special), it has a 390 and auto transmission at the moment. When I was decoding the vin tag, everything seemed original and matched what is currently on the vehicle. The transmission code on mine is "C" and it says that is a 3-speed manual transmission. I don't see any type of hole in the floor for a manual shifter, so is this just a typo or do you think at one point someone really converted it to auto? I used this:

If a 3 M/T .. it would have come w/a column shift.

Look at the TRANS code again, it's probably a G = 1968/76 F100/350 360/390 = C6

1961/78 F100/350: The IDIOTS at FoMoCo used the G Warranty Plate TRANS code for all A/T's.

One had to know which trans was available with what engine.

1979 F100/350: The IDIOTS finally woke up: G = C4 / K = C6.
