Found it on Ft Collins craigslist. It was pretty cheap so i couldn't pass it up. I ripped the firewall padding out yesterday and it was pretty gross in there. This rig was a rat motel for sure. I think I saw that 235 on craigslist too. The one in my rig runs so I lucked out there. I do need the heater fan speed switch as mine is busted. I'm also going to have to rewire the entire thing and get a new battery. I was going to convert to 12v, but buying a 6v battery is so much easier. Next will be getting the gauges working, getting a new red needle for the speedo, and getting new numbers on the odometer if it is still salvagable.

I wish I had a 5 window. I've got my eye on a '49 with all the good parts from an '88 4wd blazer.
