I have seen couple of other cars and truck with the filler behind the tail light done similar to what your doing.

Got my fuel tank back with the filler pipe in the correct location. I reinstalled the tank showing the filler pipe going out to the left.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I had my flexible break lines made this week and started to install them. Fitting good so far. Talked to my painter today he wants my frame to line up the paint lines in about week and half. can't wait to see it painted.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Advanced Addapters finally sent me a return shipping label so I can return the tail housing that did not fit my transfer case. should get $200.00 back. bought a tubing bender so I can make my hard break lines. hope it works for the 3/16 lines I have to bend up.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I'm sure you're very excited to see color on it! Nice work on it. That is always nice to get some extra cash for parts,. There's always something else needed right around the corner.

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
Could someone confirm the bolt size for the back cab bolt to frame. I thing it's 7/16 14 thread. I don't have my cab at home to confirm. Thanks

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
That has to be a great feeling. All the work you have done is excellent on that truck and to finalize with some color is a accomplishment. Excited to see the new paint!

Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration
I picked up my driveshafts Tuesday after work. Had to modify the cross member to fit the front shaft and started on the rear shaft. Have set up center bearing next.
