Fmx or c4????????

First off I would like to say that I love this club. I just recently found it and love it. I also have a question. I have a 78F150 2 wd and I was wondering if you guys could tell me what tranny is in this truck. My brother in law says fmx and I say c4. I have to get a new parking pin for it and not sure which one I need.
Thanks
Keith

Codes off the door don't mean anything if the transmission has been changed.

Tell us what the pan looks like.
1)Square
2)Square with a notched corner.

Is the tranny all one complete casing or does the bellhousing unbolt from the case?

If you have a 302 the trans is a C$
If you have a 351M/400 you probably have a C6.

Sorry I have a 302 and my vin# is F15GNBK6801. If you can tell me is there something special or odd about this truck because my cab has F150 ranger on it and my bed and hood has exployer on it I thought they were two different trim packages? This truck does come with the tilt steering, pb,ps ac the works from back then.

Its easy totell them a part. The FMX is a 4 speed auto and he C-4 is a 3 speed.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 14-Aug-02 AT 01:25 AM (EST)]The 4 speed FMX (counting reverse maybe ) has a cast iron main body, the belhouding is removable. The C4 ususaly is all one piece, with no cast iron external parts.

'74 F250. 460, "beater" now "1 dead ford"
'73 F250, "midnight auto" now a trailer for the flamer
