Re: Penny

Well that was a fight that I didn't really win...
I hate the mounting system for squarebody tanks. Unless the brackets are tightened down in just the right spot before trying to bolt to the frame, none of the bolts will line up. Also the hole in the frame rail isn't big enough for a socket to fit through to tighten the straps.

I do have to pull the tank back down to paint the brackets and straps and repair the wiring for the sending unit, but I also need to make sure the engine runs good and the transmission shifts before I spend a bunch of money for wiring
