The one in the truck I just got over the wknd is rusty inside, so I'm looking to replace it. Anyone within a couple hours of Richmond have one?

Atheys Classic Truck Parts is in Virginia. Bill has been bailing me out alot lately!. He is a great vendor to deal with.

If you feel like driving to the north state I have one you can have from 69 pick up. Harold- Western NC just off of i40

Harold, how far are you from Durham, I ask becuase I recently went there and it took 2.5 hrs, so that's what I have to judge by. Also, is the tank in very good condition?

Harold Shepard · 11-02-2004, 07:01 PM

I am about 4- 4.5 hours away. I am closer to knoxville than the state capital???

Tank is in very good condition, it will need a new sending unit for v8 - think I have one but no float or in tank sock.

I have to check and see if I have any good used ones for you, But I keep the new ones in stock. I am about 1-1 1/2 hour from you.

70 shorty · 11-04-2004, 01:44 PM

Harold, thanks, but I think that's a little far for me However, pickupman, please let me know, I bet Front Royal is very pretty this time of year, and I might be up for a little ride this wknd. How much for the new ones BTW, I tried to find them on your website but came up empty handed.

70 Shorty, I havn't had a chance to check the used ones I have yet, I will try tonight or tomorrow. The new ones are on this page http://www.s-c-t-p.com/rad.html near the bottom, run $180. It is nice up in this area this time of the year I just hate the traffic. I'll get back with you on the used ones.
Thanks, Bill

I have a used one with sending unit. Will be in Raleigh North Carloina at a car show/swap meet Nov. 12,13,14 at the Fair grounds. I can bring it to there. 100.00

You have a PM

pickupman · 11-05-2004, 08:13 PM

I did have a good used one if you are still in need of one. $25 you pick her up.
Thanks, Bill

Randy, thanks for hooking me up. As it turns out the sending unit has a fuel line bigger than what the old one had, so I'll be looking Bill's way for a new sending unit. I got the tank installed today, so I'll give Bill a call tomorrow. Bill, thanks for checking for me, I'll be talking to you about a lot of other stuff I need. After taking the old tank out, even the sending unit is very rusty. I don't think there would be any chance of rescueing the old tank even for the most desperate person. Randy, I would have loved to stay longer and check out the trucks and street rods closer, maybe next time, and maybe next time I can bring the Camaro. I noticed on your posts, "drinks beer, chases women" so I owe you a couple of beers.
