Thanks guys, I'll check out those leads. I hope to get her home this week and get her cleaned up a bit and post some more pics. I think I found out why the fire dept retired this one. There was a long battery cable from the battery to a disconnect switch under the driver's seat, kind of at the bottom of the door opening. This cable had a hole rubbed in its insulation and was burnt almost in two. We replaced it with a new one and she fired up and ran like new, which she almost is anyway. I'll keep you posted with the progress on this one.
