Fuel Tank Back In Place

Got the skid pan sand blasted, painted and under coating applied bolted it back in place. Installed the repaired plastic tank with some new hold down straps I made. Did apply a little air pressure to the tank could not make it leak weld feels very solid. Will pick up new sending unit and hose from filler neck. Filler neck was rusted out where it passed through the rubber grommet at the fender never seen that before will weld that up later today.

It'll be interesting to see the finished truck, I bet it'll be one sweet looking truck, you might want to show a before and after of the truck. I have also found that junk yards are good source for parts, I've used a few junkyard parts on my 78 F-150 Ranger Lariat, and I had restored the model identification emblems on my truck, I had used a Toyota black touch up paint on mine, which was right on with the black that Ford had used, and that paint is available in any auto parts store for about eight dollars, and my emblems looked like new.
