Jon where did you get the red trooper? Was it for sale in Moab? Thanks for posting pics! You know, the depression isn't as bad as it is when I would have just gotten back from Moab......
Arcobarco (Jerry) bought it from Bart a while back. I think Jerry took off the 477s for his own VX, and maybe some other stuff, put the VX 430s in, and then Jon and Jerry traded/bartered/sold some parts for it.
