Mike,

A 74hct74 is the standard solution. You can build the same flip-flop with a couple of NAND gates is you have a partially used 74'00 on the board. Actually, the NAND gate isn't the only standard logic gate that you can do this with, but its the most obvious.

Survey the board for spare logic chips.

However, practically, you don't want a clocking signal routing all around a board tryin to find unused logic gates.

If your application is for small circuitry, say inside a pager our something like that, look for the G series wherein you can get a single gate in a package for reduced consumption and most importantly for less boards space consumed.

P.S. I assume you accepted the job offer you emailed me about. Congratulations.
