Well I've had this truck about 7 months now. The issue I was having with it was a rusting fuel tank in an otherwise solid truck. I read not to rot the tank, so I picked up a Summit fuel tank. In fact I went through
three Summit fuel tanks... Each one had a filler neck that was at the wrong angle so the filler neck would not fit through the cab. I thought I was getting damaged tanks from shipping, but it ended up Summit fuel tanks are reproduced with the filler neck at the wrong angle.
Long story short lol, I got my money back and the local degrease/corrisive cleaner dude fixed me up for $50. Its was only a minor surface rust - inside looks like new now.
Done deal and my motor runs fine now. Of course that took a carb rebuild, full tune & all fluids changed, and a Pertronix ignition installed.
New single exhaust on the monster stock 307
, and all is good. A local tire shop is fixing my split rims (not widow makers according to them) tires when needed (only once so far).
Clutch is fine, transmission shifts well, and I must have low rear end gears because its fairly tached out at 50mph.
It just turned 70,000 original miles!
I have a prime original runner...
Cheers
