Re: Short box saddle tanks?

Hi Guys! I am wondering if any companies made saddle tanks for short box truck? I know ford did not . The ones that sit on the outside of the frame and fill up threw the rear wheel wells.

Re: Help me with pricing my 66 F100

around here i think the kansas city craigslist posters would have posted it for sale more like $8,000. $4,000 buys you a complete restoration candidate with flat tires.

If your gauge is matched and working properly, and checked while removed, the grounded sending unit should have pegged the gauge when moved to full position. If not, there is a mismatch somewhere, assuming good grounding. If an OEM style float-on-arm gauge, it may be hanging up on something when in...
