"greendot" in a c6 auto

i was told that the "gren dot" by ford was in a c6 trans. for one year only 1966.
for those not familiar, the shift pattern is PRN2DL. NOT PRND2L. i thought the "dot" was only in c4's. i have a 390 in my 56 and had trouble with my tranny not shifting when in drvive(D). the tranny shop said i had a dot c6. is this true? a ford better idea for only 1 year? thanks for info

Green dot shift indicator dials were used in original Cruise-O-Matics from 1958 thru 1965 on cars, on 1962/67 F100/350's. C-4 Green Dot dials were used on C4's from 1964 thru the 1970's on cars, 1964/72 on trucks (mebbe later, book doesn't say). C6 green dot indicator dials were used 1968/72.

Green Spot indicator dial: P R N o O L

F100/350: The 1967 C-O-M; C4's and C6's used the same green dot indicator dial from 1967 to 1972 = C7TZ-7B033-A

There were no C6's installed in F Series trucks till 1968.
