Good questions, for which I currently have no answers. I strongly suspect there is a way around those issues, but I have to figure them out. I'm not remotely concerned about the vehicle's value as an original; the amount of skin cancer eating the K20 is likely beyond repair. I do need to check out how to reconcile an earlier cab and its VIN with that of the 73 frame.

Any hints from those have gone before will be greatly appreciated. I do have the means to fabricate the cab mounts, though I don't really know what that entails until I know the respective positions of the 73 cab mounts and those of the earlier model. I do think I like the 60-66 body a little better, especially the GMCs. Do any of the particular model years hold up better from a rust perspective? Are 60-66 better/worse than 67-72?
