it's a clean 45 for sure! funny thing is, I saw it on CL about 6 years ago and called the seller. he said "somebody is here right now to buy it". "please take my number in case it doesn't work out".
half an hour later I get a call from my buddy Nick; he just happens to own my favorite restaurant. in Sonoma up in the wine country ..... "he dude. I scored that 45 on CL. you know, the one you just called about". so I start laughing. nick says "while I was there, you called, then paul decker and then Mudrak". small world.
well, the truck ran and drove. crappy red paint, barely running F. Nick has been working on it since. Turbo'd 3B, h55 and split case, OME, down to bare metal,....... today was his first time driving it more than 20 miles. made it back home no problem.
