This is the same guy who had a METRO for sale about 6 months ago. He seem like a reasonable person. I think buy and flip[ is his hobby/business.
He does help with shipping. The Metro went to Washington State.

When trucks were built to haul stuff, a 9ft box. Not like the typically truck of today with a 4ft box.

I don't on't get out enough so I don't know which typically truck of today has a 4ft box.. My two Binders have a 6 foot and 8 foot boxes. My Ram 2500 has a 6'6 box..That must be a Ford.

I was wrong, 4.5 is the smallest box. Sorry for incorrect info.

Any guesses what the mystery item is between the top of the coil and coil wire? Some kind of J.C. Whitney, double you mileage thingy?

Step-up transformer to take coil voltage and make it high enough to fire the horn mounted on the firewall?
