Re: 71 GMC Ol Green

That's a verr-rry nice '71 GMC. I've got a 70 GMC 1/2-ton long bed (green). I'm looking to install a 700R4 tranny (a Monster trans unit) like you with a Lokar shifter in place of the TH350/B&M floor shifter in there now.

Could you tell me if it's a straight swap or were there any mods required to the drive shaft? Did you keep the original torque converter or did you upgrade? I'm running a crate GM Performance 350 ci w/330 hp and 380 ft lbs.

I dig your new seats too. Any advice you could share would be appreciated.

Thanks and keep up the good work. - Phil
