Thanks guys for all the feedback. As it turns out the donor truck I went to check out would not stay running long enough to get a good test drive out of it.
I think I'm leaning toward going to Phoenix Trans or the like and just biting the bullet. (my 63 was supposed to be a budget build...........but then I think the only real way to do a budget build is after you have built the first vehicle)
(then you know all the little ins and outs for the next one)
Long story short, unless I just run across a great condition donor at a fair price, I will purchase new.
Thanks again for the advice and help!
