Meanwhile I have to brave the 83* Tucson heat and take my '68 Orange Stepside out to fill it up at Fry's Supermarket. Regular is $2.76/Gallon. With my VIP card and 1028 gas points from November, I get a dollar off. So $1.76/Gallon. Must be the Eighties.
Happy Solstice!

Killer deal. We only just recently got to $3.99/gal.

I filled two jerry cans to 10 gallons for both. Plus the seatback tank topped out at 7.9 gallons.
I calculated my mileage at 10.88 MPG.

I'm using your old sender. It reads a bit low. Looked like I was down to 3/8ths of a tank, but had at least 13 gallons. When topped off, there's still a gap to FULL. With the Fuel Sender/Fuel Line connection properly secured, there's no more fumes in the cab. Vapors hiss out, when you crack the gas cap open.

Still better than the dead reckoning I have to do on the Jimmy. BC the gas tank has 1/4'' steel skid plate armor with about 48 bolts holding it on since new, I haven't tried to drop the tank to install a new float/sender. I just figure on a 20 gallon tank at about 10 MPG, and try to remember to top off every 100 miles.

Had a really nice day for a ride over to Lake Catherine just out side Hot Springs, AR. We went from 82 degrees to low 20's in 3 days.

Getting ready to figure out how to install my electric fuel pump, got my new creeper but discovered that my fat gut won't slip under the frame unless I jack up the back end also for a little more clearance.
The jack stands were under the bug which I need to do a brake job on and I had to replace the damaged hub with a new one that wouldn't fit because the shoes were in the way...it never ends.
Well at least I have a dry garage to work in and I have an HDTV to watch and I can take frequent breaks to goof off in my comfy chair and post Sideways Saturday pictures...

Heck I can practically sit up under it now!

I know the feeling, Brother.
I think I will have to jack the rear of my '71 GMC Jimmy for better beer-gut clearance underneath. I got a new slime Green creeper from Harbor Freight. I had the red plastic one like yours, some years ago, until my Marine Buddy offered to help me with my clutch. He was so svelte when we were active together. I used to outweigh him. But in 40 years he had ''blossomed out'' and I was surprized when the side casters popped off.

I made sure of the weight limit on the new creeper. 300 Lbs. 200 for me and 100 for any off-loaded parts.
For Sideways Saturday the sides of my '67 K/10 Suburban and my '71 K/1500 Jimmy.
