by skull's chart 4m4 000101 to 050000 comes back as a 80-81 disk brake special

Thanks Gary. It’s in Portland so it’s very cut up. But, it has a front drum, double leading shoe on there.
And an engine to take apart.
I’ll pursue it for $50
Five O’clock Vrooom now

Oh yes, that would be well worth $50. Hopefully the engine is a later one, a 447 type. And if it's an '81, you'd get the right engine cover with the oil sight glass in it.
