I was able to start the truck without any issues but I don't know over time what may happen I have recently just install the c6 in this truck and I realized that the plate wasn't there so don't know if I should pull it back out and put a plate in or leave it together and hope for the best

If the convertor isn't jamming into the pump, I don't see any real problems. The one I did it on was a stick shift.

If you loosen the bolts (nuts) that hold the convertor to the flex plate, you should be able to move the convertor back a little. I'm not sure what the spec is but I'd guess at least .040-.050" to allow for heat expansion and possible ballooning of the convertor.

Be aware the lock nuts that are located on the converter studs that retain the flex plate should not be reused.
378941-S7 .. Lock Nut - Available from Ford as they were used on dozens of different A/T applications from the Ford-O-Matic of the 1950's to the E4OD of the 1990's.
Most dealers will have these nuts in stock.
