fuel gauge staying at 1/2 tank
I have a 1967 CST that has a problem with the fuel gauge. It doesn't move, so I put a test light to the wire at the tank and it went to full. The fuel tank and sending unit are new. Any suggestions?
Anyone know a company that sells fiberglass bed covers for my truck? |

Re: fuel gauge staying at 1/2 tank
You never run out of gas, what's the problem?
 In all seriousness, have you checked the grounds on your gauge cluster? Gaylord makes nice fiberglass covers for these trucks.

Re: fuel gauge staying at 1/2 tank
I have only had the truck for a short time. Where are the grounds on the cluster?
Does anyone have any seat belts for a 67? |

Re: fuel gauge staying at 1/2 tank
I have a Gaylords fiberglass cover on my 72 SWB. I love it. As far as I know, they are the only company that makes them for our trucks.

Your problem is absolutely poor ground.

Re: fuel gauge staying at 1/2 tank
