700r4 is IN! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tuesday, I got the final approval on the 700r4 in the 'burb from Bowtie Overdrives. I was going to button everything up (like put the hood back on, etc.) on Tues night, but influenza had other plans for me

. I was going to have it all finished and drive it to work today, but I was still fighting off diseases. I guess I will have to button everything up tomorrow night. I haven't really gotten to drive it more than just the 'test drive' that B.O. requires for their warranty, but wow, it felt nice on the test drive!

Anyway, I plan on doing a full write-up on it when I get my pictures developed. I will tell you one thing about it... it takes a lot of patience. It's not hard in the sense of quantum physics, but it takes time, and it can get frustrating. I had a little rule going in my head that when I started looking for a BFH, I would go on a soda break.
