thanks for the engine thoughts. the trans is interesting.... the mods to attach will be a very cool read!! also if interested there is a member who did a green truck (squarebody) that was purchased by an interesting buyer. the member is (mikentosh?) he has a couple of builds. the truck buyer is someone that you may know and want to visit.... let's just say that he is/was a family member over at DEI

. mike & a friend are partners in a frame building company... they utilize C5(?) suspension components. the truck (greenie) was a really good build. it will give you an excuse to visit maybe. anyways please keep us posted, I (as many others) really appreciate the updates & the sharing of knowledge.

Thank you, and yes, it is factory medium lime green, however, I do not believe it was a color for 78, I think it was from 76.
