Most units were rebuilt to GP7u by the Santa Fe shops between 1972 and 1981. All rebuilt units received the blue & yellow "warbonnet" livery along with chopped short hoods for improved visibility. The early rebuilds retained the round cab roof; later ones received the angled "Topeka" cabs with rooftop air conditioners.

Some railroads adopted a GP7R or GP7u designation to indicate a rebuilt unit. Santa Fe began a program in its Cleburne, TX shops to rebuild GP7s. The program was started in 1972. The high short hoods were chopped down, dynamic brakes deactivated (if present) and in some cases new cabs were installed.
