My '71 GMC Jimmy has a skid plate under the gas tank. It also had a skid plate under the transmission/Xfer case, too, but I pulled it during a clutch swap, and haven't replaced it yet.
With about 45 bolts securing the gas tank armor on, I have not been enthusiastic about pulling it to get at the in-tank fuel sender. My gas gauge reads zero. By extracting the Tan wire from the fuse block, the needle points to 3 O'Clock. For reference, I keep a log of my miles to and from locations, and track how many gallons I bought. By topping off the 20 gallon tank every 100 miles or so, I avoid fuel starvation.
Someday, when I build a proper garage, I can fix this gripe, but the Gas Gauge was like that when I bought the truck in 1995.
