Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build

I had a slow day at work so i figured i would see if i could drop the factory tank. I am not going to use it anyways. I am going to put a cell in the rear frame area. The factory tank had way too much crap in it for me to use. I jacked the truck up to get under it and proceded to remove the pos plastic skid plate that goes over the tank. I may have found why the truck leans to the driver side. I pulled the shield down and a bout 30 pounds of crap fell on to the floor. And the bottom of the tank is rusted out i am sure. I am fully confidant i can put a screw driver smooth threw the bottom of it. It smelled like fuel and was damp. I gave up for the day due to dinner time coming up and i could not remember how to remove the tank. I now know there are 8 bolts to take out and the tank will come out with the brackets and all. May takle that this weekend. Boy am i happy i did not want to reuse that pos.
