The late 70's Chevy van tank sounds like exactly what I was looking for, best of all worlds it sounds like. Price is not bad either. If it fit a...
Hell, I think almost all of the new vehicles are using plastic tanks now. The truck will be a local weekend driver anyway, I'll probably go with...
My '61 has an under bed tank in it right now. The fill cap gasket was bad when I got the truck and the tank had water and rust in it. I got the...
Mine was doing the exact same thing as yours. Started locking up hard if I stopped for more than a red light length of time, then pretty much...
I bought the polished stainless steal chain sets from Brothers (they have them on sale right now, almost 1/2 off regular price). They look as nice...
