Code, you remember who started the thread? Btw, anyone besides me notice the 54 grill, making it likely that it is a 54, not a 53, because 53-54 conversions aren't super common

How do you come up w/ that the Latter is closer & the Former is further?
Easy, if your tired old eyes read it as Santa Clara.

Besides that, who says you got to be right all the time!

I was just curious how you came about the figures in your statement, as supplying misleading intel is a rather abhorent thing to do & I'm not implying a bloody thing.

I agree - that is why it is best to post the info so lots of people can look at it -

And now that I reread my last post "Besides that, who says you got to be right all the time!" I should make sure you understand I was speaking of myself -

This is not the first time I have been wrong - and I am not implying a bloody thing.

Anyway, I've been searching for that post for about 3 hours now and have found nothing. I am ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE I've seen that truck on a post on this site! I think it was up on ebay before. I don't remember any specifics, but I remember some folks were making fun of the paint job. Help me out here, someone else has to remember it. This may be what we need to track this scumbag down. Maybe MrF1 knows something about it.

Grabber, you made mention of an Ebay Transaction is this so? If it is they will also have the guys contact info as well as there is supposed to be some kind of protection on this.

Its not 100%, but its better than a kick in the butt with a frozen boot. He'll get whats comming, got no use for these kind, nor excuses, best of luck to you keep us posted.

I hadn't checked this post eariler due to being a non CA. guy, But I had to check in and see what was up when the thread grew so large.
All I can say, What a great place (FTE) to share our experiences and gather information.
Where elce can you go and make true friends that you never meet in person.
Just my thoughts as I read though this thread
Good Luck Grabber
