Which Automatic Transmission

I am looking at an '82 F250 with the 300 and automatic transmission. I can't seem to locate any information through my searching and the owner is not very responsive / knowledgeable. My assumption is that the engine is mated to a C6, but were there other options that were available in '82 that I need to be aware of?

Any information or what to look out for would be greatly appreciated. This truck will mostly be just a DD, but will be used to occasionally pull my flat bed and dump trailers.

Again, thanks for any input you may have.

What does the tag on the drivers door jamb say?

So far, I have not been able to get that information out of the owner. I am trying to get him to send me a picture, then all the guessing would be over, but until then I was trying to gather any additional information that would get me closer to an answer.

It's without a doubt a C6, it was the only auto trans available with the 300 Afaik (except a few F100 with C5s)

Thank you for all the replies, I've had a couple of C4's over the years but never a C6. From what I've been able to read they appear to be fairly stout and thus I would assume paired with a 300 should be relatively trouble free?

C6 has 17 trans pan bolt holes, AOD has 14.
