Re: Had to buy - '77 Suburban

The gas gage hasn't worked since I purchased it....pegged above full. First check was the pink wire and tank grounds...all checked good. I did notice when test driving that every now and then the gage would move to the correct tank amount. The PO had replaced the tank prior to me getting it....he couldn't have reused the old sending unit I thought. Well, after crawling under there with a flashlight I confirmed he did so that is what I suspect is causing the fuel gage issue. The rear bumper is bent and now the tank needs to come down. I guess I'll be going with the 4x4 hangers in the rear if all of that is out of the way.
So yesterday I decided to tackle the task of getting the axle pulled and rear hangers removed. In order to remove the axles the e-brake cables need to be removed from the backing plates. Already planned on new brakes but this just confirmed it. Sorry about sideways pic.
