I still don't understand. The SPID will tell you whether it came with an automatic or a manual (which was the original question). I know crawling in and under vehicles is some people's idea of a good time, but it would be so much easier to look in the glovebox so that the seller can tell the buyer that yes it was or no it was not originally a manual truck.

I can see if the question was if the transmission is the one that the truck left the assembly line with, but that's not the way I read it. The buyer just wants to know if it was originally an SM465 or TH400, and there's an easy way to do that.

The buyer sounds like a clown anyway. I'm not sure if I'd even go to that much effort to answer him.
