Ok so while I have the bed off, a few things need to be addressed. Dropped the tank to fix the original problem. Gas was leaking out every time I filled up. Filler hoses were rotten. I order a new sending unit lock rig and gasket. Also ordered strap pads and paint for the tank once I get it clean up and sanded. It looks spotless inside, and it's original with USS stamp. I plan on powder coating the straps along with new hardware. I also ordered a can of Chassis Saver in the vintage flat black. Time to get to work!
