I finally spoke with the owner today. It's been 3 1/2 weeks of hit and miss emails and phone messages. He says he has too many projects, or his wife does, but he doesn't soundreal interested in letting it go. I'm going to pass on it for now due to space constraints, I have no more room myself, but still know where it is for now. I did offer him help and guidance if needed. It sounds as though he's not all that familiar with these old trucks.
