I've come across a lot of trucks with crimped fuel lines! It's sad but true, usually underneath where the "mechanics" were too lazy to crawl underneath and find.
I had a 7.3 with ZF five speed I sold a while back for $4500, guy snapped it up in a heartbeat. In fact he saw the ad and wanted to come get it that night!

No problem painting over the CARC. I do advise using a sealer though, as the CARC seems to act like a sponge to most paints especially the desert colors.
Hey, ya know, that brings up a neat idea, what about some kind of a help net type thing? Say someone is passing through in a MV, I've been fortunate when going through Wyoming one year had trouble with the CUCV starting (sub zero temps) and the National Gaurd guys were nice enough to slave start...
