Tranny Fluid?

Quick Question, got a '78 w/351m and a c6. What kind of transmission fluid is used in the c6. I'm new to this truck and i'm aware that there is different types. (EX type F etc..)
Advice?

Dexron II or III

Have a look on the transmission dipstick !
The Type should be printed on it.

-I'll bet I must've sounded like a dipstik, but there's a good reason.
Dipstick non origional just says "check at idle" and 2 marks.
Thanks though!
