Some of you may already know this but here's an easy way to clean your antenna a dremel tool , jewelers rouge, and aluminum wax.....
This antenna was really oxidized pretty bad but didn't need sanding down so I started out with a rouge for cutting, then one for polishing, I used the small cotton wheel for the dremel tool you can buy at your local hardware store. Finished it off with a nice coat of aluminum polish.....

I'd love to see more pics of your fuel filler setup. I've got a Blazer tank in my '68 but have no idea how I'm going to get go-juice in the thing. This looks like a pretty slick idea.

Basically its a steel box that was fabricated and welded together, theres a 2 1/2" round hole cut in the floor pan and on top of the box. Epoxy primed on the inside and mig welded into the floor pan added seam sealer around it before it was prepped and painted. The cap is a boat fuel filler and cap with a 8" sleeve that is hose clamped on to a 2 1/2" rubber filler hose. Pretty simple design some of the other guys on the board have run it thru the rear tailight housing. hope this helps ..... I will try and get some additional picture for you....

Truck is lookin great. Pluggin right along

YBNORML · 02-12-2012, 02:25 PM

Nice truck! Can't wait to see it lowered, there's just something about a stock looking truck that has been lowered and slapped with a nice wheel/tire combo.

Thanks bro...

I like the chrome trim around the gutter rail on thr roof some one said it's was difficult to install but it sure looks nice, do you like the smaller steering wheel as apposed to the stock one I've been looking at a nice 14" one from Classic Industries, I haven't dealt with Tottaly Stainless yet but I going there tommorrow I am about an hour from their place in Gettysburg. That's really a nice truck you have, Is that Hawaian Blue, I just had to have some touch up paint custom mixed because i didn't have the paint code.

I do like the smaller steering wheel ..........The trim is pretty easy if you have the body work right and plan on taking your time......The color is 2188 Medium Blue or Hawaiian Blue was a 1973 color option bur they are really close colors from what I know....The white is 2185 standard 1972 Colors....
