just make sure the tailhousing is similiar and stuff. what engine is the tranny hooked to? does it have a similiar driveshaft to yours?

You pulled a trans and didn't notice if it was a 4x4?

I would think the extra shift lever would be a clue.

if it was a automatic in a 69 f250 4x4 it wouldn't have been original for the truck and would have had a transfercase shifter bolted to the tailshaft housing. Lot of work to swap something in that may not work, but you gotta do what you gotta do...
Tailshaft should be really your only concern on whether it's bolt on u-joint or if it's got a slip yoke..

yeah i decided to be smart and just do it right. and get a rebuilt tranny or have mine rebuilt. cause im gonna get a boat and just knowing its gonna last and not leave me stranded.., id hate to pay someone to install a used one and not work

If it had a transfercase on it you wouldn't have been able to pick it up, it took me and my brother to load a C6-np205 into my truck. If it was a F-250 4x4 It would've had a divorced t-case, meaning, that it would've worked in a 2wd
