Would it be possible to get photograph's of your engine swap and truck?
Yours would be the first and only example I have been able to track down.
I would be more than happy to pay for the film and developing and cost to
mail it to Hawaii, or if you have a scanner maybe you could e-mail me the
images. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Stafford
