Re: 1972 K5 4x4 modified build
I took my rear spring shackles apart, cleaned them up and tied them together:
I bought a TIG welder so I am teaching myself how to use it:
I had purchased a NWMF 37gallon fuel tank early in the build, but when I decided to go EFI, it made the tank not worth the hassle to modify. Besides, it hung VERY low. So, I decided to fab my own tank. I drew it out in a CAD program and had a local guy cut the pieces out of 16g cold rolled sheet on his plasma table.
Here I drilled and threaded the adapter for the fuel level sender:
And the fuel pump opening:
Everything was tabbed and slotted, so it went together easily:
I dimpled the baffles for rigidity:
I started to bend up and tack everything together:
Keeping it square:
