A mid 60' Mustang tank will fit perfectly between the frame rails.. You do need to move the rear crossmember back a few inches and the tank is a top fill....The tank is mounted in a 1" square tubing frame that is bolted directly to the frame rails... I have seen a rear fill setup with a cute little filler door fabbed into the rear bed cross sill... It was at P.F. three years ago...reallly neat. I'm using a "cool cap" look alike to fill thru the bed. It's actually a marine tank fill unit that is 1/2 the price of the "cool cap" and exactly like it withouth the logo.... questions ??? email off line to jniolon wans.net or jniolon uss.com john PS HI MICHELLE !!! LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT P.F. THIS YEAR !!! ------------------------------ From: MichellHC aol.com Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2000 19:53:28 EST Subject: Re: Gas Tank The filler neck comes out between the frame rail and the bed, there is ample space between there. You can either put a filler door in the back of the rear fender to accommodate the filler neck, or just put a round hole with a grommet, and cap.

I want to redo the bench seat. I have access to cowhide (Holstein(black&white) for great price. Will have to get it tanned. Anyone know where I can send a hide to get processed? Is it worth it? I've tried taxidermists. They say cowhide is too much of a pain. Should I use faux cowhide? Thanks Peter ------------------------------ From: MichellHC aol.com Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2000 20:16:58 EST Subject: Re: Distributor Removal As it stops, and won't go any further because of the oil pump not aliening. Have someone turn the engine over either by bumping the starter, or by using a socket on the harmonic balancer bolt as you gently push the distributor down, it will fall right in. Michelle Chelle's 56 Hauler ------------------------------ From: "Steve Bittman" Subject: Re: Distributor Removal Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2000 17:34:43 -0800 When you engage the distributor gear with the cam gear, and the rotor is turning towards the point you have maked as an index on the block as you are lowering the distributor, it will stop just about 1/2' off the block right? And the rotor is not quite yet poinitng to your index mark eh? At this point, just leave the distrubutor where it is and just bump the starter a bit. This will turn the pump shaft just enough to engage the distributor, and shell drop right down.

Trying to get everything traced out but missing a part or two. Where does the relay mount? Where does the horn mount? Basket case truck is incomplete. Thanks.. Randy Selby >> Randy, The horn mounts on the frame surrounding the radiator (between the radiator and the grill) on the driver's side.

However I can tell you that the tank from an 85 Isuzu Trooper is a virtual bolt in if you move the rear crossmember rearward about three to five inches. I also notched the left frame rail on the top flange so the neck would have plenty of clearance. The beauty part of the tank is that there are no straps to contend with and the tank bolts directly to the lower frame flange. I installed one in my 56 my self with no outside help. If I can do it, anybody can. Michelle Chelle's 56 Hauler >> Michelle, Hope to see you in PF! How many gallons does the Isuzu tank hold? I want to do something like that. I here you can get them with the EFI fuel pump too. I wonder if the pumps for a V6 or I4 will pump enough volume and/or pressure for the 5.0??
