1981 C10 700R4
zieg85:
A friend of mine has an original 116K mile 1981 Chevy C10 with a 5.0L and 700R4. Reverse went out. Would it better to order one versus having this one rebuilt? I have heard the earlier 700R4 needed internal upgrades. Would a transmission shop automatically know this being older 41 year old stuff? Please advise

Personally, if it was my truck and the original transmission, I would have it rebuilt by a reliable place/person.

I agree. Really, the outcome depends on who does the job. Use a known dependable shop/individual and you should be happy with the result.
MIKE S:
Are you sure it’s a 700r4? The first year for a 700r4 was 1982. If it is all original it would have been a THM350 or THM350C.
