Big Mike,

A 71-79 donor sounds like a good idea. Would you suggest going the 3/4 ton route on the donor truck? Eight lug wheel selections are a bit limited, but I'm sure we could make something work.
Disc brakes would be nice to have for sure. I did that upgrade to my 65 mustang fastback awhile back. Even though it was just manual brakes, stopping power was much improved.
The 68 GMC does have power steering on the big block at the present time.
Guess I'll have to start looking for that donor.
