As far as my digging has found I believe it went to a conversion company probably right out of the manufacturing plant and yes it is a 350/4l60/np241 also known as a 350/700R4/NP241. I found a Burb in a yard near me with the 4L80E I'm thinking of pulling and putting into my truck.

Yeah been looking around on it and haven't found any rust yet. It has some issues with the power windows and locks and someone removed the power mirrors so I'm wanting to get those replaced. Maybe I should just start a build thread for this beast.

Check the rear inner wheel wells at at the top and make sure that seam is in tact. That's where the rust first starts, then when holes start to open up, all the **** from the road starts to get slung into the body cavity by the tires, then starts to rust the quarter panels and rockers from the inside out.
