Anybody know off-hand which years I should look for when it comes to take-off parts? Thanks!

Parts interchange is easier when broken down to the body change years when dealing w/used parts sources. So for parts on a 78 I would look mainly for 'round-eye' year models (74-79/80). 81-87 trucks had 'square' lights. Its easier w/that in mind when searching parts yards.
A/C stuff should be fairly interchangeable as well based on a/c type, engine type/size, & accessory drive. I would base my search from those points for starters.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
