If you have a 700R4, where did you buy yours? How was your experience with who you bought it or who do you guys recommend. lastly, did you install yourself or did you take it to somebody? MUCH THANKS!

I got mine at Pick and Pull and rebuilt it myself. I put one in my 79 4x4 also. I had a TH350 in the 65 when I started and upgraded to the 700R4. What a differnce on the freeway. I will never go back.. I locked up the converter manually. If you get one make sure it is an 88 and up model. And if you get it rebuilt take it to a local shop so if it breaks you don't have to pull it out of your truck and ship it back.

In my old '68, I put in a 700R4 from Bowtie Overdrives. I know of 4 people personally that used them and are very happy. They are up by Victorville, CA.

I put mine in myself, dialed things in with some phone conversations and once everything was on the road, I drove up there and had them tweak it to get everything perfect. They swapped the governer since with my combo, the one that was in it was shifting a little early.

Again, very happy with them.

I bought a motor and 700r4 from a board member ($3600), put it in the back of my truck, drove it to a local transmission shop, drove in with a 305/th350 and drove out with the 406/700r4 a few days later, total cost, $406 and he got to keep the old motor and trans, I did not argue.

This was my 85 can't see it being a heck of a lot more expensive for a 60-66 model year truck.
