My "new" 1968 c20

Better picture of the sock inside of the sock and gas line is a solid pack of rust

These were in one of the ammo cans guess he never got around to returning them

That's a cool truck. I'd like a long bed step side, but can't quite talk myself into getting another vehicle to work on. Getting too old for it, I guess.

A new tank with THAT sender, I don't understand the previous owners thinking... Likely in a hurry. They could have at least cleaned it up and cut the old sock off. I wonder if the float rheostat was any good?

Got a new sender unit today from partsgeek. Com. All stainless and a brass float. Took the tank to a radiator shop today . I'm doing it myself 100 to clean and 45 to coat it . I can buy a new tank for 165 delivered from summit. I put phosphoric acid in it this morning with a whole bunch of nuts and bolts. I should be able to reinstall it tomorrow or Thursday. 15 $of acid.

It's no wonder these places are few and far between . I brought a 3 row rad for my AMX to get record . 375 $ I can buy an aluminum rad from DeWitt for 250 $

I think after 6 years even a new sender would have been toast

I have the original sender in mine. I only had to replace the brass float because it sprung a leak.
