had my cheyenne c20 for a week now and the bb runs like a dream, sold my jap truck and transported it on a car trailer and the c20 didnt miss a beat for 8 hours(4 there and 4 back)

Had bad fuel fumes in the cab

so took the tank out and found half a dozen pin holes along the bottom of the tank,is this a common problem???

Haha

can you spot my temporary fuel tank

Nice looking truck. I bet you don't see too many of those over there.
Not very common to have pin holes in the tank that i have ever seen.

Any truck of ours with a BB is special, nice find and looks great!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-05-2010, 01:23 PM

Looks like a realy nice 3/4 ton Cheyenne. I would pull the bed liner out to make sure there isn't dirt or something under it that would retain water and cause rust problems in the future though. Great score!! WES

Nice

I see your tank

The tank in my 71 had pin holes and leaked fuel. Don't even try patching them, It will just open up somewhere else. (Been there done that). Got a brand new one from LMC Trucks under $200 bucks with shipping, problems over.
