Under G, what does Automatic Ford mean for the tranny ? Ford is the name given to the tranny ? I guess what I'm getting at is if someone asked "What tranny do you have?", you just say Auto Ford ? Hope this makes sense.

Thru 1978, the idiots at FoMoCo used the G trans code for all A/T's.

Since G only decoded to "Automatic Transmission," one had to know which trans was available with what engine.

1979: The idiots finally woke up: G = C4 & K = C6.

What year/series is your truck, what engine?

G being a Ford automatic, it would have to be a C6 for that year. You have a 351M, right?

See post 3 regarding the "G" code and the applications of the other suspects here, the C4 and FMX, indicating they would not be used in your truck with that engine.

... C6 ...

Only A/T's available in 1979 F100/350, Bronco & Econoline: C4 & C6.

The C4 was used with 300 & 302, but the C6 was also available with these engines.

351M/400/460 = C6.

C4 has 11 trans pan bolts, C6 has 17 trans pan bolts and the shape of the C6 pan resembles the state of Utah.
