Some guy just tried like hell to buy the Duck. He made a heck of an offer but I just can't sell the old girl.

I've got his buisness card if I change my mind. This is twice he has made an offer on it now. He owns a super clean 93 ext. Cab, 4x4, 5 speed LE Dually.

Its not going anywhere, but when he played $8500 cash on the hood I thought really hard for a minute. I told him I would swap for his dually. He said he will never part with it. I just wish I could afford to have $8500 in my pocket for no reason though.

Probably not since my donor cab is all red inside and in great shape. Final color will be kept quiet though and you guys will see final product after completion.

So injection pump came completely loose today. I've been having hard start issues, way down on power, blue/white smoke since I started driving her again. I was only able to get one nut tight tonight and have it pulled as close to the head as possible. Just went and filled up and last tank was still 21.24mpg. I flat footed it turning off my street and about lost it when charger hit.

It'll probably gain you a MPG or two, but I dunno... Maybe paint it black or something.
