I could have gone that route and taken them into my usual shop and paid maybe $5 per wheel for truing. But that wasn't what I wanted to do.

If you're going that far, why not just start with a sofa and add a drivetrain?

Oh and I went ahead and got Sugino cranks for the GTB, not the 75s, just a simple set. Now I need a wheel set, and bearings for four Surly hubs.

When I bought my money sucker, I'd known that the guy had it for about 6 months. I thought it was one that looked like yours - all celeste. Went to his house to pick up a black Miyata frame that ended up being too small, then went into the other room to look for some parts for my brother. There she was...
Looks like a nice bike. Have fun with her.

No, I just put the saddle on, I don't even have pedals yet to dial the saddle in.
Did you know that Shimano no longer makes Dura Ace track hubs? Evidiently there's not a big enough market to continue manufacturing. My LBS suggested Miche.

I think they just stopped with the high flange, but I could be wrong.
I've got a nice set of the low flange ones...

Well, we were going through the Quality catalogue, and they didn't have any, no low flange, not high. If I looked in this town I could find a set I'm sure.
But, that's not what I was going to post. I saw a really expensive track frame, a Carbon fiber BMC OMFG what a ride. The wheels came in at 300 a piece, all white and speedplay pedals, Dura Ace cranks, just a sweet ride.
