Re: Reasonable engine swap-63 crew /6 to ???
Cheapest and least headache route would be to keep the slant six and beef it up for more power.Two barrel or dual one barrel carburators etc.

Re: 64 dodge is too cold blooded
saw that the points were gapped a little too wide so I closed the gap and now it idles well with out having to reve it up for fear of it stalling.Still cold ,but I can live with that as before I guess.Just let it warm up for ten minutes or so and it's good.Thanks

Re: Utiline beds?
I put a bed from a 1960 ford pick up I found in the junkyard on my 1964 dodge for $100 .Very solid-Looks like it belongs.Was a stepside until a drunk ran into it,

Re: Grandpa's 62
Leave the slant six.Dependable,good on gasoline,long lasting.You really need to drain the gas tank first before you think of bigger and better things.Save yourself a lot of headaches,Why re-invent the wheel.leave the truck as is.Easier for your wife to learn to drive stick

Re: 1961-early 1965 small to big back window
Getting a newre cab would also be labor intensive,but besides the larger back window,you would also get the later model outer door handles also instead of the old refrigerator type ones .

Re: Diff year alternators?
How about the G.M. high out-put (one wire) alternator? That would work,wouldn't it? I put one in my 1947 dodge 1.5 ton truck to replace the cheesy old generator.It works fine!
