Identificating a Tranny

When my neighbor and i stripped a 1993 he had noticed that it had a rather large trannsmission (it was a 2wd f-150) in it. and he have been having a lot of grief trying to figure out what it is. He has had many people look at it and they dont know what it is. he said it was not a c6. (i dont know anything about this kind of stuff) i have written down some of the numbers by the bar code. I was woundering if you guys could help me ID this beast. and if it is common or what. here is the numbers. (once again if i need more numbers i can get them)

DC
|||||||| |||| || | | (bar code)
5102 0009856 (some letters appeared after looked like an I and a Z and some smudged ones)

Probably an E4OD.. its a 20 bolt pan..

Or go here, within this very helpful site:

Chances are good that it is an E4OD. Check your door code under "TRANS" or "TR". The shift pattern will be P R N D 2 1 with an O/D cancel button on the end of the shifter. The E4OD is a very large tranny, the AOD/AODE are not. The C6 is vacuum controlled, so there would be a vacuum line to a modulator somewhere near the rear of the tranny. The E4OD will also have a large electrical harness kind of right in the middle of the passenger side, while the AOD would have a TV (throttle valve) control cable going up to the throttle body. I'm not sure where the harness would go for the AODE, as I've never seen or messed with one.
