Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
GAS TANK : I had my original gas tank cleaned and "tanked" at a local radiator shop. Looks nice. just wondering about the inside.. I have heard pros and cons on using a tank sealer. What are your experience and knowledge on using a tank sealer or just don't use anything ?

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
On second thought, can you see inside the tank and see if it really is varnished up? if not, clean it out with the old diesel and chain link method and then just run it. If it is super varnished though, be wary that this varnish will continue to break down with all new fuel added and could possibly lead to valves sticking in the guides....

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
Hey Cort,
Yea.. it has been a (it seems) a life long adventure... Since I started this I have had two marriages of my kids, 4 grand Princess born, buried several family members, had a massive heart attack (Widow Makers suck). and life just continues... I know my 60 Jimmy misses yours, (a brother Jimmy from another mother). I'm going to post some latest pictures of the "redo" from all the work that has been lost from time and weather. Bill Quote:

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban
So as we finally get to move forward again, the roof is ready for paint (again) and the hood is getting ready too ...

I did install an inline fuel filter which I ran for first 100 miles after the restoration then changed out. I would recommend coating the inside with the appropriate product applied by an experienced pro. |
