I always hold my breath when I see a rig like this with the running boards. Sometimes those are just what's needed to make a vehicle useable for somebody. But pulling those off will knock it out of the park on this rig. I've heard that propane is the equivalent of a high octane fuel. It would be interesting to advance the timing and cam it to get the most out of propane and see how it goes. But if it's not convenient, that sort of wipes out that idea. Amazingly well preserved. I remember climbing in one of those at our local fair when they were new and daydreaming of being able to buy one.
