My local Chevy dealer (probably the smallest dealership in the country) refused to sell any trucks - gas or diesel - with a 700R4 and a tow hitch until after 1985. If any towing was threatened, he pulled the 700R4 and stuck a TH400 in - along with an different shaft in the 205 transfer-case.
I can remember - just barely- when the TH350 first came out - it had just as high a failure rate. The 700R4 IS, more-or-less a TH350 with an added gear and lockup converter. I think (but I wouldn't swear to it), the "350" stands for a 350 lb. ft. torque rating, just as the "400" from the TH400 denotes a 400 lb. ft. rating. I've had a few TH400s in high-torque engines - but they were technically TH475s.
GM now claims the numbers in the new metric-designated transmissions denote the max. torque ratings. If so, I've been wondering 60-what from a 4L60, nad 80-what from a 4L80? I assume the 4L80 is the old TH400 with an added gear and lockup - and if so - what is 80? Can't be lb. ft, can't be Newton Meters, so what the heck is it?

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
