Well , I bought a rust free 62 from Cali for my 3b/h55 drivetrain to go into. The 62 is an 89 with a bad engine. Cam went thru the block. This will solve my bodywork problem but of course give a whole host of new problems. I'd rather deal with mechanical hurdles than RUST! I'll be making good use of this board.
I like the 62 for its 4:11 gears(I had bought brand new 4:11's for my 60 and hadn't yet installed them. They're for sale if anyone's looking.) I also like the rear sway bar, rear shoulder belts and headrests. I'm not crazy about the headlights- oh well.
I'll turbo my 3b during the swap as it will be easier while it's out of the truck. The paint's not great but I can deal with that later- at least it's not RUST! Anyway, now I just have to figure out the best way to get it home to Vancouver. I'm looking at a tow bar option right now but am open to all of your suggestions. I gotta say, I'm somewhat excited.
Cheers,
Mac
