All you need is the reluctor wheel and VSS.
It will output the same signal as the 700R4's reluctor wheel and VSS.
The 700R4's VSS might look like it will work but the o-ring groove is further outward. The th400's reluctor wheel has a larger ID.
Otherwise it will all put out the same signal.
1988 GMC sierra 2500 parts would work.

The Painless piece "could" work, it's intention was for ECM controlled engines that required VSS input for control.

Do you have the drive and driven from the TH400 still? How many on the drive? The driven? The drive/driven could be used that should make the speedo correct and then if the Painless worked as thought you would have a functional speedo/odo.
If you found a JY 1-ton G-van or old style GM 1-ton truck (with vent window), '90 or '91 you could maybe gather the reluctor and VSS for cheap. The 1-ton truck needs to be a 2WD.

I've just looked at their 8K offerings that convert cable driven but then I believe you would still need the DRA from them. You would put your trans together with what you have and buy 2 products from them I believe. Maybe from them an SEN-01-1 plus their DRA to convert the 8K. Very similar to the Painless offering but less expensive and no cable connection to terminate from the looks of it.

4K for speedometer.
If you used the correct gears "maybe" the painless works with no DRA. You might be able to land one of those "for cheap" eBay or wherever.
Yours is a very different "ONE OF" so give the entire project maybe to DD and let us know what works. I've seen the Painless done for numerous resto-rods successfully. If you used the TH400 reluctor/VSS you would still need the same DRA like I mentioned from DD or someone else. Does someone do a cable to 4K like the DD? I've never looked. Abbott is where I'd look if I were considering a DRA first. More expensive but quite reliable. I've used Abbott many times.

Ask them about a 4K cable adapter for GM, they may have done in the past for their cruise-control packages and just don't offer it any longer "as cataloged". Maybe some old stock on their shelves. The only important thing is the GM cable drive connection.

Ask DD if that's not correct. One piece can't do all of the correction.
I saw their specs on the SEN-01-1 as an 8K
