Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration

Working on fixing 4 BOO BOo's on my truck the last 2 weeks.
1 fuel tank filler pipe in the wrong direction. Can't blame anybody but myself. I changed the direction at the last minute. shouda left it the way it was.
2 T-case tale housing not set up for variable speed sensor. Talked to Advanced adapters several time to get it corrected and the new housing they sent me does not fit in the back of my T-case even after heating up the case and cooling the tail housing.
3 rework exhaust X pipe to clear drive shaft.
4 oil pan oil sensor and slave cylinder for the clutch crashing into each other.
had to pull out my friend card to get some help fixing these items.

1 welding the fuel tank filler in the correct direction.
2 tail housing have it drilled and tapped for the VSS. 22X1.5 thread.
3 raise the exhaust X pipe so the drive shaft will clear the X pipe.
4 moving the oil sensor to the left side of the oil pan by welding a piece of 3/8" thick aluminum to the side and taping it for 18X1.5 thread.
