I’ve got a 351m with C6 auto transmission. 2 wheel drive, column shift. Drivetrain is out of a 78. Does anyone have a picture of the linkage running down to the C6 lever and how it should look in park? Thanks!
Hmm... You said 351 so I was thinking 77.5 and later. But your moniker indicates 75. prior to mid 77 the neutral safety switch was on the steering column. The front lever shown in my picture is for the kickdown linkage. Its the thinner outside lever and should point straight forward. It can be flipped 180 deg. The other lever is just visible pointing up behind the safety switch with the rod attached. I can't recall what it looks like on earlier transmissions.
You can move the lever until the truck will not roll. That is park.

1967/77 F100/350: NSS located on the steering column, all A/T's = C7TZ-7A247-A / Motorcraft SW-600
1978/79 F100/350 & Bronco: NSS located on the transmission. C6 = D8TZ-7A247-A / Motorcraft SW-1489 // C4 = D8TZ-7A247-B / Motorcraft SW-1491
I have a 75 but my drivetrain and steering column are out of a 78.
I don't know what is up with your transmission. It doesn't look like either to me. Here is what a pre 78 ( not 77.5 as ND pointed out) should look like.
Looks like the manual shift lever has been replaced with a universal type.(see pic). The NSS has been removed. And the kick-down lever is on backwards.

I believe you’re right! So, I can buy the correct parts and get this back to the way it should be? Because it’s binding now as I try to shift.
The manual control lever on E-Bay is marked D8TP-BA. Make sure you get the right one. 2WD & 4WD are different. 78-79 are different than 73-77.(grooves for nss). ND can give you the correct part #.
