I can just tell you that when he's done, I get a pristine tank back. If you look inside, it looks like it's brand new. In this case, he also found a pin hole way up top where you'd never have a leak other than maybe a fume. I never smelled anything. But he welded it up without even calling...Which is perfect, as far as I'm concerned. He added ten bucks to the original $115 price tag. Then, they put a little metal clip with a number on it (I guess to identify the job), and sent it back to my local Napa Auto Parts. They must have a "quiet" deal working where part of my $125 goes to the Napa guys.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Sorry, been busy and missed this.
Basically I just did the first set up based on research from a Google search. This is one source. http://antique-engines.com/electrol.asp The solution is nothing more than water and washing soda. The anodes are just iron bars. Hook a 12V positive from a decent battery charger to the anode, then hook the negative to the part to be cleaned. The first setup was a small trial run and didn't require as much current, but the bigger setup draws a little more. I let the brackets run for about 24 hours or so. A little cleaning with a brush and a quick shot in the cabinet and they were ready for powder.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got the gas tank in...Definitely easier with more than one person. But, alas, it was a solo install.
Got half of the tank cover on (driver's side) , speaker, gas gauge sending unit, and fuel pump wiring done and cleaned up a little, driver's side speaker installed. There's more room for the speaker on the passenger's side, as we all know. So, I won't have to poke holes in the carpet on that side. On the driver's side, there's only clearance for this box the way I set it up in the pics...But the door *does* close with plenty of room. All-in-all, a good day. Tomorrow, some gas and test for fuel pump and and line leaks

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I installed the tailgate handle bezel today that I got off Amazon (it was missing one when I bought the truck) & gave her a good bath. And later somehow my rears tires started to smoke, melt & leave gooey rubber all down the back road today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
More progress! On the bed top/bottom, we tinted the bed liner. I will be doing a wood bed (Show deck) but wanted the protection (plus it looks good lol)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Traffic snuck up behind me. I had to leave & couldn't even see it myself except in the rear view mirror.
As for the bezel? Here is the only before pic I have & I'll add an After pic tomorrow.

The're supposed to be from a 2004 Blazer. At least that's the way they were advertised. I took the 60/40's for another truck and sold these to a friend for a hundred bucks. But he didn't finish the build they were going into (a '68). When I got RAT, I asked him what he was going to do with the seats. Two days after I asked, he brought them over.... ...wouldn't take the $100. But, he and I are waaaay past keeping score. Since we don't, we're always "even". I only asked him for the c-note, originally, because we were all there when the guy that was delivering the seats had his hand out waiting for the green My pal asked, "What's my share?"....He got these for about 1/5 of the total cost 'cause that's the way we roll. Sweet "turn around" that he gave them back to me four years later, huh? The mechanicals for the belts are about seat-back high bolted securely to the posts. I used radio knobs on the manual winders, although they are properly set up and retract just right. I just didn't have room on the belts (length) or on the floor. Looks okay. Pretty low profile. But understandably, it would absolutely make the "correct" guys cringe.
