Hey Robert,

Could we have a wider photo of the whole truck with its nice rebuilt fuel tank?

Default May need a ground strap on the tank

Hi Robert

Noticed that you are using what looks to be rubber strips under the straps for rub protection. I did the same thing and one problem I ran in to was inconsistent ground on the tank fuel gauge sender. Some times gauge worked and sometimes not. Turned out it was depending on the fuel line for grounding. Solution was a length of the small woven ground strap material from one of the mounting screws on the gauge sender over to the frame.

Enjoy watching the progress.

Cheers Phil

Thank you for the replies. My computer has been in getting repaired for the last two weeks so I am just catching up. 99 threads have been updated since I last logged on.
To repair the strap I cut thread off a bolt and oxy welded it to the stub with about an inch of no.10 fencing wire. Yes I used rubber strip under the straps and grounding is not a problem as the senders don't work. I will take more pictures tomorrow.

After nearly four years of spraying with oil and heating occasionally the jack mentioned in post #53 finally came unstuck. I just need to buy new ball bearings for the base and then I can clean and paint it.
