Re: Palf's 1970 Custom/10

Finally finished some tasks on the ole guy. I have been working on putting in an 84 Suburban 31 gallon tank under the bed since first of April and finally got it finished today. Between trips to Texas, caring for someone on hospice and waiting on parts really made it drag out.

First thing I had to do was relocate the spare tire mount in the bed from driver's to passenger side. I wanted to have the gas fill on driver's side. Never cared for fills on the drinkers side.

The Tank is new so I wouldn't have any rust or gunk issues.

Spare tire brackets were removed a while ago, but still need to take out one bar and slide another one rearward After saying many "strong adjectives" while using air chisel and drill to get the rivets out I finally had success. The opne bar slid back into some factory holes (on the bottom) and cleared everything for the rear bumper. Just had to remove the rear wiring harness plug and it's now held in place with zip ties
