I have the same drivetrain, a 6.2 Diesel, although it is in a 72 GMC. I don't wish to highjack, it is just that I have always wondered about this very question: is the 700R4 an appropriate or inappropriate transmission for towing. Because I have a little holiday trailer I want to pull.
I understand there is no point in pushing your luck when getting up to highway speed or up a hill, but could you slip it into OD on a straightway at 60mph and leave it there?
