I believe the bad rap 700s got was from the early models. They were weak. GM addressed the issue and fixed the problem. Then there are folks who tow in overdrive. That is not a good idea.

Where in NW Wisconsin are you? There are some 67-72s around. I missed my big chance. The very week I bought my current boat a guy said he'd sell me his '69 3/4 ton 4x4 with 40,xxx miles on it original. I had to pass as I wanted to stay married. Then I moved out of that neighborhood. I went back to maybe see if I could buy it again but his little lake cabin is gone, replaced by a McMansion. Back when he offered he said I'd have to come up with $2k. $2k for a 40k mile original truck. There is another one close by that looks like it has spent its entire life in a garage.
