You have a TH350 tranny, if you look closely, you can see the kickdown cable hooked to the carb.
A high hump floor wouldn't have told you anything about the tranny anyways Th400's came under the low hump (as yours is) unless bolted to a big block. (others indicated that a high hump woulda implied a TH400)
Something you'll probably want to address, your front drivers side spring is worn and has a spacer in it. Those can pop out and then your truck will be sitting nosed down on that one corner.
That engine is not only newer than the truck... but much newer. I'm thinking 878 was when they went to center bolt valve covers.. and that dip stick handle makes me think more like 90-something. This is an awsome thing becouse it means you have a roller cam, and with the new oils having minimal zink in them, your engine will hold up much better.
