Ok 73f250highboy, so the gas tank is LxWxH (30"x26"x16") but it has a staircase affect at the back so a cross bar can go over it so it goes from 16" tall to 10" tall. The whole thing is hidden behind the hitch

If ya got a D60 pull the top fill plug and see if any lube comes out. If not stick your fanger in there and see how low it is. I don't remember if the 9" have a fill plug or not.

Nice truck!
As far as the diff's go, specs say full is up to 1/4" below the hole. Any lower and you should top it off. (80w90 gear oil unless it's limited slip, posi, etc. Then you'll need some additive)

Ok here we go with the latest and not so great but not to bad...
Took the carpet up to check floorboards because from under the driver side there are alot of self taping screws sticking out. Im like WTF is this???? Figured it out after pulling the carpet up. Would someone like to explain this to me. WHY!
Someone put a piece of sheet metal over the floorboard for no apparent reason. I took all the screws out and there were no hole in the floor board. So wierd. Alot of rust but no major stuff so i treated it with this stuff called THE RUST DOCTOR.
Pass side was clean for the most part.
Also saw this going down the freeway. I was in my Bronco

Ok so i bent another pushrod
This is starting to really PO me. Paid 600-800 to have the heads done and and one of the valves stuck or something. And i also had a new lifter collapse
So i demanded the head place pay me to remove the heads again and they will be paying to fix it a 2nd time.... In the meatime i have new interior LED's installed (ill post a video soon) and have a pile of parts to install while i wait for the heads to get back.
Here are all the new parts minus a bumper, strobe lights, new tail lights, hi lift jack(ordering that soon) and a few little odds and ends.
Dual battery set up
Anyone know if these lights are any good?
Here are the interior lights. I currently have them in color change mode. (click on link if video does not play)
