Re: Bringing my Grandfather's 1972 Longbed Stepside C10 back to life
Was able to swap the original fuel tank out tonight. I had ordered a new Spectra replacement tank from Rock Auto. Swap went fairly easy, lower portion of metal with mounting holes had to be flattened out as they kind of creased up toward the tank during the abuse of shipping. The filler neck also had to be worked on a bit to get it to center on the opening on the side of the truck. New filler neck gasket as well as new rubber fuel line pieces. Now will just need to replace the rubber fuel lines under the cab and new black paperboard cover for the tank. If anyone is thinking of using this tank, the factory gas cap will not work. If anyone knows which cap will that looks similar to original let me know!
