My 76 LUBR Build in SC

[Crawdad]

Started working on my dads old Broncos this week. I bought lots of interior stuff from JBG to try and keep rain and fumes to a minimum. Was seriously thinking of installing a rubber floor mat but I was told to wait till summer so that all the wrinkles will come out. Putting in a cold rubber floor doesn't lay down very well according to one of our vendors out west. I got tired of not knowing how much gas I have in the tank so I bought a new one. I got BCs 24 gal efi carb tank which should hold more than the 13 I have now. I know I prolly could have changed the sending unit but it's an aftermarket and I'm not too sure it really is a 13 gal tank, looks bigger than 13. I decided to replace old wiring with JBGs rear wire system bc there is a lot of spliced wires back there, could be reason why blinkers don't blink properly too.

On to the hands on stuff. I started the removal of the old gas tank. I needed to remove the two body mounts which werent too bad minus the bad tub mounts which were trashed. Had to remove the welded on receiver hitch which was a bear. After fighting for about two hours the thing came off without a hitch! Ha I just made a funny there! May have tank out on Friday which should allow me to see any damage in the frame. I think my dad cut a notch out of the frame so that filler neck would fit better I guess. Hopefully I can find a welders fix bad spots, sand off rust and primer. Hope Chucks tank goes in smoothly.
