holy crap..... looks like somebody dumped some dirt or something in the tank before it was parked with the gas still in it

That is just incredible. I can't believe all of that trash is in a fuel tank. I agree, maybe some little hands had decided to "hide" some stuff in there. Maybe that is why the PO quit using the truck.

Thanks for sharing with us.

I wonder if it was vandalized with sugar in the tank or something.

That's about how the tank looked on my 72, it had sat for 10 years with about half a tank of gas, it had pinholes rusted along the line where the gas came too. I think I posted some pics when I pulled the sending unit out, looked a whole lot like yours. I lucked into a good tank from a 68 ton that had been on the road till about a year ago, tank is nice and clean!
