Re: 1981 trans.
350, 350C or TH400. 700R4 was not available in 1981. I don't remember what year the 350c showed up. It loks like a 350 with a wire going to it.

Re: 1981 trans.
If the 81 c10 has a 350 engine in it there is no telling what transmission it has (81 c10 should have a 305 unless it is a diesel 350). Sometimes when the engine is swapped out they swap the transmission as well. At 31 years old you almost just have to be able to look under it and figure out what it is.
