Well his location says bishop cali, which is not that far from the US border, you can sneak in over the mountain, and get back out before they even knew you left the country. lol

Crap, I was hoping he would be close.
You know how much gas the V10 Van would take to go that far and back? lol

Bill, plan on 10 mpg at best. How many gallons exactly would depend on how long you sneak through them backroads.

14 going there ( empty) and 10-11 back ( loaded) is about what the my V10 would get.
If I speed it drops off fast.

Of course, if I have to cut though the desert to avoid getting caught coming back in to the US from CA that will really hurt the MPGs.

I wish I could.
I would love to go get it and take some freinds, make a road trip out of it.
But I can't spend that kind of money on the truck or gas.
Moneys kind of tight since I'm not getting as much scrap and I had to rebuild that 7.3.

Bishop, High Desert, that truck ought to be very rust free, however roads ain't so good up there so it could be beat to death.

Still, The price is right for the rust free sheet metal.

Used to go through there every other day when I was hauling class A for Diablo.

Sure wish my truck was running, I'd run out there for that, see my dad that I havn't seen for 20 years in the process.

Bummer.

-Enjoy
