As far as the gas gauge trouble shooting Disconnect the wire that goes to the fuel sending unit at the tank. Ground that wire to the frame, making sure the frame is clean. Turn the ignition to the "run" position and watch the fuel gauge. If the gauge swings all the way to full, either the sending unit itself is bad or it has a bad ground. If the gauge stays on empty then either the gauge is bad or there is a wiring problem.To pop the plug off for the test, you can barely get up in there with your head and see the plug. While looking at it, VERY CAREFULLY use a screwdriver to pry it off. AND I MEAN VERY CAREFULLY. It is only pushed on like a 1/8". This is only if you can’t get it with your hands or some long reach needle nose pliers.
Thanks!
This truck has the in cab tank as well. Prior owner had disconnected it, so not sure if that could be the issue.
Off to see if I can get a new radio installed in her today!
Well the in cab sending unit should/could might have a elec connection also...I think the same test can be ran on that wiring. Do you have a tank change over handle on the floor next to the dvr seat?
Factory wiring for the radio is tricky, there is a green 2 wire plug. BOTH ARE 12V POWER. The OEM radio gets its ground fron the radio to the mount btacket to the dash. I believe one for main power and one for radio station memory. If you think one is for power, and one is ground, you will start blowing fuses.
I am trying to find a thread that tells you what fuses is going to get blown.

Interesting, mine is on the dash on the heater control unit.
Took her for longer run this am. They did new duraspark, new holley, mechanical fuel pump, plugs and distributor. Man she is running great, no issues at all. Wife will be happy!!
That slanted hole is the bowl vent
One on each bowl
That means your float level is too high, or the float is sticking (needle and seat sticking)
Most of us who run Holley carbs these days switch to steel needles, so they don't stick like the viton rubber ones do
The ethanol (alcohol) in today's fuel will swell the viton tip of the needle in the needle and seat, if it sticks open, you have gas coming out the vent
If it sticks closed, you run out of fuel and it will not re start
Stopped by the body shop yesterday and got the est for a paint job. I am in charge of ordering all the new trim and front grill.
Unfortunately he has a body off and chassis vehicle he’s midway through and said he could get to it in a month or two.
He also suggested rhino lining the inside of the bed, which makes sense to me.
Heading to the glass shop Thursday morning for a new windshield. She’s coming along!
Man I am pumped. I am headed outta state to look at some property, popped on fb marketplace for where im heading and found a near perfect grill for my wife’s 77, apparently he has the mirrors im looking for as well.
I was literally going to stop by Dennis Carpenter to buy a new one and bring it home to save on shipping! Score!!
Picked up new water pump and front pinion seal today. Sending speedo cluster out for a rebuild and mechanic is working on gas gauge issue. Coming along!
