Although, if you consider the R&D, the fact that it's bolt in, and the powder coating....I think the $175 isn't too bad.

You think they'll be at your upcoming swap-meet ??

I agree with John. But if you decide to go a different route I got my e-brake at home depot for $1.89. if you want I will bring one to your swap meet..

joe231 · 02-03-2009, 10:44 PM

alright fellas, got another question for you's
what trans mount do you use for the 700r-4?
if i look a mount up by the years of trucks that had the 700r-4,
it shows this one

but i think i need one like this for the original cross member, and beside that,
i like the looks of it better

so.....will a th350 or th400 mount work on the 700r-4???

I believe that is what I used on my 700R4 that I was going to use.

joe231 · 02-03-2009, 11:00 PM

i thought they would work, but wasn't sure

protrash64 · 02-03-2009, 11:31 PM

I havent crawled under the 'burb in awhile, but I think it uses the cylinder type. PO work that I havent touched....hard telling what it mite be out of actually. Ill check if youre interested; tomorrow sometime.

joe231 · 02-03-2009, 11:41 PM

dunno man, your burb is pretty low, might be tough to get under

but wait...you gots air!!!

ya Jeff, if you don't mind taking a peek, i'd appreciate it

protrash64 · 02-03-2009, 11:46 PM

Its easy now!!! Bags help you jack up a truck faster than ever. I'll look at it closer tomorrow and snap a shot or two.

joe231 · 02-04-2009, 12:12 AM

cool man
Thanks!!

**Captainfab** · 02-04-2009, 01:57 AM

The older 2 bolt mount for a th350 or 400 will work on a 700R4. You might need to open up the holes to accomodate the metric bolts......can't remember for sure.

scotts62 · 02-04-2009, 09:07 AM

The one in my '83 had the round one if that helps dude.

joe231 · 02-04-2009, 09:29 AM

thanks guys

protrash64 · 02-05-2009, 03:44 PM

Hey, I guess I lied

!!! Took a couple days to get under the truck and it had the square mount. Gettin olds a *****!!!

Anyway, here was what was under mine, Joe. If you see anything falling apart, let me know.

Looks like a factory type x-member...I used an aftermarket one in the pick-up. It looked like the one you had in the pic but has gussets off the frame mounts too. It is the heaviest one ever made by the now defunct 'Turner Enterprises'.

joe231 · 02-05-2009, 06:00 PM

funny stuff Jeff!!
Nice and thanks for the pics, looks good....
my "over the web troubleshooting" doesn't detect anything that needs attention.

protrash64 · 02-05-2009, 06:02 PM

That mount may have seen better days.........
