I'm thinking grab Carter car and drop at your shop this week, and drop the CT patient when I get home probably Sunday.

appears she has no fuel pump and a dead battery.  kicks a little with gas dumped in and a fresh battery though.

absoulty..
I had a FP for it assuming I would find a vin tag...

if you remember Mike.. this is the one you drove off the trailer.. so it dit run, ran well actually..


Plan is...

Take Motor out of white one to put in Blue one

Blue one is a 91 (different intake and belt drive)

Dress White motor with Blue motor bits

Drive blue truck away, part white truck out... or be it sombodys next wheeling toy.
