Howdy Toby,

Yikes... They could be twins.  I do not have my serial # handy but I can get 
it to you next time I am up at my shop.  My '57, 88" came with a truck cab 
when I recieved it.  It had about 4 other paint jobs since its original 
colour and I cannot bring myself to the bright yellow again.  If it had more 
of its original colour to begin with, I might have.  It too, had some cheesy 
trailer lighting.  The wiring was botched so I am making my own system.  The 
2 Litre would run, but had a burned valve and was in need of a major 
overhaul.  The guy I bought it from gave me all the bits needed to make the 
2.25 conversion.  I originally wanted a series 2 again, but I could not turn 
the poor thing away. My objective is a serviceable daily runner so I can ply 
the backroads for hunting, fishing, and great cigar smoking vantage points.
