I have to wonder if the reliability issues have to do with improperly adjusted TV cables, which is a very common problem. Or were they known to be unreliable even as installed by the factory?
That said, I'm considering a 2004R for my 69 C10. Low gear isn't crazy low like the 700R4, and the driveshaft doesn't need to be shortened. I'd go with a non-lockup converter.
