Re: 1978 Russet Metallic 4x4
Bad aim. Like you said it's still strong. I trashed the TH350 today merging into traffic. Going with a 700R4. Probably dropping it an inch or so to improve driveline angles while we're at it.

Oh man. Didn’t realize you were still running the th350. 700 will be a great upgrade.

Re: 1978 Russet Metallic 4x4
Sorry to hear about the TH350. I do agree that the 700R4 will give improved drivability. What do you think happened to the TH350 when you were merging?
Also, very cool trip that you took with your buddy and his Suburban. |

Re: 1978 Russet Metallic 4x4
Thanks amigo. I suspect the torque convertor got tired of all the shock loading. The new 700R4 will have an RV torque convertor that's fully welded. Just a guess. We've only pulled the pan and seen the metal.
