I recall that the first mentions of a Lockheed LH2-powered project surfaced when the company was proposing an experimental LH2-powered TriStar in the late 1970s. I think, too, that at one point one of the Lockheed leaders - may have been Ben Rich - casually tossed out a statement which sounded as if the aircraft was almost complete at the time of cancellation. However, Jay Miller's (later) book told a very different story, where the design never closed enough to start building an airplane.
