I suggest that you compare the trans oil pan to the C6 picture and measure the top two bolt hole spacing & compare to the picture. Hope this helps.

That looks a little long.
Three different extension housings (tailshafts) were offered: the Lincoln version at 17.4 inches long; the truck housing at 7 inches long; and, most commonly, the 14-inch length used in passenger-car applications.

My trans seems as though it may be out of a car (14-inch length tail housing). I don't know who installed it.
Can you measure the total distance from engine to rear end and subtract your drive shaft length?

Yeah I was already planning on having to cut down the driveshaft because I got a 9” rearend and driveshaft from a long bed 77’ so that’s not a big deal.
I cant measure total length right now because the truck is an hour away! I’m gathering parts to swap them in at my buddies shop where it is now, then trailer it home.
side note, I need a tailgate for a 77’ too if anyone has one

so it looks like I have the Lincoln version then. Besides cutting down the driveshaft will that be an issue to install?
