I will ask Rube to post the details on the rear and trans to clear up the possibilities and speculations.
IMHO, none of the parties involved have any ill intentions or malicious plans about the parts.
Here is what I know:
Rube had been trying to buy the car for at least the last ten years.
Doug called Rube on Monday night, which is when Rube told him to call back.
Doug had placed adds in the local papers for the past few months trying to locate this car.
Earlier this year Doug had tried to purchase the extra BE0708 rear that I have, which I got from Frank, for one of his cars.
Congratulations on the new toy Van.
Van, when you get a chance, give me a call. I would like to compare a few things on my car to yours. My COPO is 09A NOR111140 VIN#680415.
Talk to you later,
Eric
