I read about your 2004r transmission..... That can be a STOUT transmission for your truck! May I suggest you call Art Carr in Huntington Beach, Ca.
He is famous for his 200 r4 transmission builds. ( It would not surprise me if that tranny , out of the Corvette, was built by his shop.)
Your 700 transmission is also the correct original, But if the 200 is still good....

I worked for him for a while ( California Performance Transmissions)


Thanks for the info, yes Art has a very good reputation for building a quality trans. I sold the 2004r the other day to another Vette guy, wants to put it in his '79 and the local transmission shop just picked up my 700R4 Friday so the $$ I made off the 200 will go a long way towards rebuilding the 700
