The tank is out of a blazer... I got it new from Brothers Trucks in Corona California. But there are several companies that make that same tank.

After going through three sets of headers, including a set of shortie headers, I think my best bet is going to be "Ram Horn" manifolds.

And here they are.

And the drivers side. I may have to make some minor adjustments to the frame and/or the motor mount on this side.

This has been another of those nagging concerns. How to repair the radio cut out and also to mount the air conditioner control cleanly.

As you can see, someone butchered the radio cut out.

And this is what the new dash looks like. I will probably add a couple of round air conditioner vents.
