Transmission ID Help
There is a guy that has this transmission for sale. I was looking to get a backup for my truck, but I am not sure what it is. He says it is a C6, but the top two bolt holes measure 8.5" from center to center. The C6 in my truck appears to measure about 7.5". Also, the bell housing is shaped different. Any help would be appreciated.

385/335 pattern is said to be 7 3/4" at the top bolt holes.

See post 14 and 15. There is a picture of a diesel/385 adaptation. The top two holes are the same it says.

There's one that looks just like it on Ebay for sale. It says its out of a 1987 F350 6.9 diesel.

Of course a tag number off it would be utopia at figuring out what it's out of. After that the 2 digit stamping code off the manual control body, color of stripe off the vacuum modulator, and the 2 or 3 digit code off the torque converter will help me I.D. it.

It looks like it is the 335 series. The top bolts measure 7 3/4 from center to center and it has the same bellhousing as listed in Ultraranger's middle pic below. Thanks Ultraranger. There is no tag, of course. The number on the drivers side of the transmission reads D7AP7006-AA. I took the pan off and the oil was clean and had no metal.
