Re: Project daily drivable 62 C20

Along with the new fuel tank was new filler hose, filler neck grommet and shiny new gas cap.

Also put in new front cab mount bushings. I believe these bushing are labeled for the 63 -66 trucks but can be used on the 60-62's too. They seem to be correct. Before I put them in I took a measurement from the back of the cab to the front of the bed, at the top and bottom. The gap was wider at the top than at the bottom. With the new mounts in the gap was even top and bottom. The rear cab mount bushings are in good shape, so they were left in.

Here is a pic of the old mount and the new one for comparison -

And finally I was able to get the power steering pressure line installed. The big problem here is that this steering pump uses the later style o-ring fitting and the steering box is inverted flare. My local shop couldn't make a hose with an o-ring style end on it. After some digging I learned that CPP sells an adapter fitting to mate o-ring to inverted flare. Problem solved I hope.
