If its a c20 im assuming it has either a th400 or a manual trans. If you use your truck as a truck you will regret the weaker 700r4 fairly quickly. They never put a 700r4 in a 3/4 ton from the factory for a reason.

My old 1986 GMC 2500 came with a 700R4 from the factory. It never gave me any problems. I used the truck to pull a 26ft 18000# trailer. The truck blow its motor before the tranny ever gave me any problems. I pulled the tranny before I sent the 86 to the crusher and will be using it in my 67 when I do my motor and frame swap.
