Out in New York now. Supposedly the second owner was from MN, MN title signed and ready for new owner. I never saw it for sale in MN. Now a dealer has it. I think it probably has a high reserve. But if you could talk to original owner, it might be worth exploring. 66 convert

Look for a part that was on a 66 medium size truck. It's just a clip for holding wire; but is not reproduced as it existed in 1966. There is a replica re-produced that I could use; but they want about $8 each plus shipping. Thanks
