I think that regardless of what the SPID may show, the RPO for a trans in the truck line would be the same across all models. With that, he probably had a Muncie 330 as the standard 3-speed behind the 350.
I see what your saying but that article is wrong.

Just some observations:

IF the M330 was the "standard" issue transmission, why is there so little info on them/availability seems scarce
Saginaw-plenty of info, parts, forums. Not the case with the 330.

The 330 is fully synchronized (see page 5 and 6 below) the C series came with "3 speed steering column" while the K series had "fully synchronized 3 speed steering column"

Multiple sites have RPO (ZW4) listed as "standard" transmission.

Another website that has parts and part info.

And this thread i came across about a month ago.
