Scubbed down the gas tank today and will hit it with a coat of bed liner tommorrow.
Inside of the tank looks like it was just put in last week.
Pretty amazing for a 40 year old tank.
I was going to coat the inside of the tank until I saw what great condition it was in.
Orderd a new pickup and anti-squeak pads.
I have read alot of stuff about differant vent systems but I think I will just keep the original.
Just going to replace the charcoal canister with a filter hidden in the front fender.

Coated the gas tank with bed liner, installed the new gas tank sending unit today.



Also got the K&N filter in for the gas tank vent tube.
Read alot of the posts out there about vent systems and the common thread through all of them is that the stock ones work really well.
So I just descarded the original charcoal canister and replaced it with a small K&N filter hidden in the front fender.

Ok, I know it's a small thing but, I love the small details.
The K&N filter just didn't fit with the anti-chrome look I'm going for.
So, I painted it satin black.
I know it will be hidden in the fender but I couldn't help myself.
I would know it's there.
Again, I love the small details.

I've been looking for these fender seals for awhile.
Just found them on ebay. Not sure if they are really needed, but anything that keeps alittle more noise or wind out of the cabin I figure is a good thing.
At $15 you can't beat it.





They fit perfect too.
