Identify 1966 f100 automatic tran

Trying to find out which automatic transmission I have

How do I positively identify my transmission. I want to buy another one from a scrap yard and just swap out.

There is a ton of stuff out on the web about identifying automatic transmissions. Here's a sample. Usually counting the number of bolts that hold the pan on is a good starting point to narrow it down some.

Just counted the bolts

I just crawled under it and counted 17 bolts. So looks like a c6. There were black widows under there. Stuff of nightmares! Nothing like being on your back and looking up at them...

C6 (17 trans pan bolt holes) swapped in, not available in F100/350's (with 360/390's) until 1968.

Be aware that there are several different versions of a C6. You will need to find one with the same bell housing pattern ( what motor do you have), driveshaft length, column shift or floor shift? Much more to consider than just being a C6.

NO Ford truck was available with a floor shift A/T until the 21st century.

I know that ND but we know his transmission is not original, and since C6 were available in some cars, who knows what was swapped in. I would assume that his truck is still column shift but without the OP telling us what he has, who really knows. I just wanted him to be aware of what could be different about a C6.

Thanks Mike - I guess I just have to raise the truck up and try to take the trans out. I wish I could just find an engine-trans combo as seems easier to pull both out with my loader since this engine is not firing on the cylinder nearest to the driver.
