C6 or C4?

hey i'm a newbie on here and have a question for all you ford gurus out there...
I have a few ford pickups, but one is a brown 1977 ford f-150 custom. It has a 351M motor, and a 3 on the tree tranny...
Does anyone know if this transmission is identified as a C6 or a C4?

Also would anyone know off hand which rear ends this could come with and how to tell???

Thanks for any input.,

Welcome to the site

The term "3 on the tree" refers to a Manual transmission.

If it is a 3 spd A/T then it is a C6
