We've about reached the point-of-no-return on the motor, at least. We have a complete 702. Just noticed the hat---it was an option in '64. Still lots of adjusting, tweaking yet. Still have a flywheel-starter problem to iron out. Just take some more shopping.
Plan to take 7-10 days off for R&R in the TT.
Food for thought: As said early in this project, there's no telling where this project would lead.
I bought the '62 GMC from a long time friend last night. He bought it new and still has a good title. Good titles are valuable property in our state. The crew-cab as well as the 78? chev yellow flat-bed, titles are possible, but a hassle.
Based on ya'lls imput, local availability, and cost, why not take the frame and bed from the '78?, graft the cab and front clip of the '62 GMC? I have access to other pickups of the same vintage for the doors, hood, and then it would be a smooth cab & clip. We would end up with a totally legitimate '62 GMC 1ton with a V-12?
Progress: One bolt at a time
