Yo! 'bout stroked in the garage today,...it was 103 outside, hit over 93 in the garage, and installing the heater control and cables nearly did me in,...no air circulation in there! It's 89 in the house. Cooling off now,...slightly anyway.
Snapped the bolt and threads off my fuel tank mounting strap from the flatbed's fuel tank. Also snapped off the bolt that secures the plastic tank protector, so I think I'll check the junkyard for the entire unit,...short mounting angle and attached strap. I'll look for a fuel filler spout of the same type that's in my '78 also. The '73 has a short flange for the gas cap (tightens up flush), and when my aux tank is installed, the hole will not be recessed as on the passenger's side. That longer flange will allow the cap to extend beyond the body surface, allowing me to mount the filler spout from behind the hole in the body rather than on the outside, like factory. More work after it becomes reasonable outside and in the garage. Todd.
