type f is one of the grippiest trans fluids out there. The c6 will be fine run on just about anything but water. Id personally if it were mine fill it with chevron thf1000 tractor transmission fluid.
Ive done quite abit of testing fluuds in my auto in my cummins pickup
Fordf dex's atf4. I do run the thf1000 in it. Change it about ever10k crisper shifts and temp gauge shows less heat wich means its slipping less with thf1000. Spec is atf+4
I run chevron 15/40 in everything with a crank case. My 76 has it with zinc additive
And bottle that says brake fluid works
80/90 gear oil in the difs. The 1000 in diffs when in a pinch.

The problem of course, and this is why alcohol based brake fluids were selected in the first place, is that older brake systems are not sealed to the atmosphere, as they are now, they weren't a closed system. Moisture, in the form of condensation due to temperature swings inevitably gets in.
It just sort of bugs me when brake fluid discussions always revolve around "it absorbs moisture!!!" as if this is some kind of defect and the engineers were idiots. Not pointing fingers at you or anyone, just that this characteristic is a feature not a bug.
