Holy thread jack!

I like all of these 73-87's but stock short bed 4X4's are the only ones that really deserve consideration.

Here comes the Flames....... ;)

 :o Say what? They look good and have their place as far as four wheeling but give me a longbed. They ride much better plus you can haul a sheet of plywood flat in the bed. Just saying that it also has it's place as far as four wheeling too.

Finally finished the fuel system today.

Both tanks now work and no more vapor lock caused by the old, soft, semi-collapsed rubber fuel lines.

In the end I had to drop both tanks, inspect, repair a ground wire, replace both sender o-rings, LH sender, all rubber fuel lines, and the selector valve.
(I'm really quick removing and reinstalling fuel tanks now).

So as of today I have every electrical and mechanical system working and all fluid leaks are history.

The truck is now safe and reliable and everything works. I have a couple of interior and exterior cosmetic items to finish.
Short of a full frame off restoration...I'm almost done.

Me too.
Leaks are something I can't live with.
I have a transfer case weep that forms a single drop on the floor maybe once a week.
I'll probably replace the shaft seals at some point.
For now I'm looking forward to finishing up the interior and enjoying the truck.

Yea, I just did cooler lines and man what difference. Plus it looks alot better with clean steel lines that aren't prehistoric looking and grungy. Leak free is a peace of mind kinda thing, it bugs you at the back of your mind when you have a leak.
