F350 trans code W a ZF?

I have a F350 2wd dually with the trans code W, is this a ZF transmission? If I climb under the truck what are some things I could look for to confirm it is a ZF? Someone told me the ZF had a aluminum case and plates on the lower sides where a PTO could be installed. Is this true? The truck has a EFI 460.

If the truck has a 460 and a 5 speed, it's a ZF, it's the only one that came in the BBF pattern. They are aluminum case with dual PTO ports.

Thank you for the info, I had looked at a few websites that just showed the W code to be a HD 5spd, did not specify weather it was a ZF. I ask because I am considering parting the truck out and need to know what I am starting with, don't want to under/over price something. The truck needs 6 tires, a steering box, possibly tie rod end(s), brakes on all four corners, and new exhaust. Don't know if I want to invest the money.
