700R4 transmission cooler lines

[cbrodine]

I've dropped a 1991 700R4 tranny in my 73 GMC C25 and I'm looking for a transmission cooler lines set to get for it. I want to run cooler lines from the tranny to the radiator but I'm not sure what to look for. What years had a 700R4 that I can get a set for and bolt up? Thanks in advance for any help!

If you have a decent tubing bender and flare tool, you can just make them yourself with 5/16 "brake" line from the parts store. The standard fitting on the lines is the correct size.

I bought a set from Inline Tube that should work. I will know how it fits when it arrives.

What did that cost if you don't mind me asking?

CTT8106 - 81-87 Chevrolet/GMC Truck 2wd Trans
Cooler Lines (Gas Motor Only) 700R4 Trans 2pc OEM
$ 45.00


As you can see its for a 81-87 2wd w/ a 700R4....I think I can make it work. I will report back when the new lines arrive. I didnt think $45 was too bad for pre-bent and all. I have a nice bender and flare kit to make my own, but honestly I just didnt want to make them. I have enough crap on my list of things to finish on the truck....

I can see that being worthwhile if they fit without much work. I tend to be a cheap bastard when it comes to stuff like that. I made a set a couple weeks ago, there was a good amount of frustration here and there, and I really don't want to do it that way again... but I guarantee that next time I need tranny lines, I'll end up making them myself yet again.

**** bending them. I just bought a set off summit for 45 for a th350 that fit near perfect
