PDB-A is a 65-66 Cruise O Matic. Thats if the tag is on right trans. Pic or how many pan bolts? Most likely the C/M trans. Is the bell housing removable?

Does it look like this? If so its a C/M

Cruise-omatic 14 or 15 bolt pan
C-4 11 bolt pan
C-6 17 bolt pan
Is the only shade tree mechanic way I can tell!

Ford-O-Matic 3 speed, FX, MX, and FMX Cruise-O-Matic: 14 trans pan bolt holes.

C6TP-7000 & PDB-A = 1966 F100 MX Cruise-O-Matic w/a 352 2V.

Mitch, Ford also refered to the C4 and C6 as Cruise-O-Matics.

Bill; when I get trans pan gaskets these local computer counter guys; they ask ask if its a C-4 C-6 etc; and then I check the bolt holes to ensure I get the right pattern; expecially C-6 verse what I though was a C/M style.
Didn't know there where all consider Cruise-o-matic's; Is the one I'm calling a C/M a FMX?

Just because the pan gasket has 14 holes, does not mean it's correct, because there are TWO different types!

The MX (once known as the BIG Cruise-O) C-O-M pan has the same number of bolt holes (14) as the FX/FMX pan, but it's not the same pan, as it has a notch in it...the others do not.

The same MX pan gasket was also used in 1955/57 Thunderbirds with the Ford-O-Matic 3 speed...in fact, that's what the part number reflects.

B5SZ-7A191-B .. Pan Gasket / Obsolete

JST AUTOMOTIVE in Lebanon TN has 1 = 615-443-3086.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has 19 = 606-787-5293.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 45 = 800-543-4959.
----------------------------------------------------------
The MX trans filter is also different than was used with FX/FMX and Ford-O-Matic.

The same MX filter was used in 1965/67 F100/350 352 / 1965/67 F350 300 I-6 / 1958/67 Passenger Cars w/MX C-O-M.

B9MP-7A098-B .. MX Transmission Filter / Obsolete

High Buck! BOB ALLEN FORD in Overland Park KS has 2 = 800-676-0675.

No other Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

14 bolt pan in that year is a Cruise-o-Matic. Info, pictures and the pan gasket, (showing shape and bolt count) here:

Ford Cruisomatic transmission

"C4" and "C6" transmissions are Ford built 3 speed automatics, introduced in '64 and '66 respectively.

Manual transmissions for trucks are listed here:

Domestic Truck Tranny Guide

In the Ford offerings you will find Warner and New Process transmissions for pickups and mediums, with "T" and "NP" designations. Mediums also offered Clarks, but no Clarks in PU.

MX Cruise-O-Matic and some 3 speed Ford-O-Matic's use the same trans pan gasket: B5SZ-7A191-B.
