check your float inside the tank..The bag maybe bad.

Being a '67 C10 owner myself, I say congrats on the find. What kind of heat is she packin'?

Regarding the gas guage, it could be a number of things. The best thing to do is just start at the needle and trace everything all the way back to the tank. It's not as easy as just knowing what it is and doing a quick fix, but going through your project this way will get you more familiar with your pickup...kind of like the dating process. Before you know it, you'll be head over heels in love.

In the mean time, you can always swerve a little and listen to how much sloshing goes on behind the seat
