resurrected

Saw a couple familiar names on the board, to all the other "new" people, hi!

Couple of events happened and I need to get the truck back on the road. It's been so long since I've been into the truck I've forgotten where to look. I need to swap out the fuel cell filler neck with something taller, in the 4" range. Saw some on Summit for ~$90, anywhere have them cheaper? Also need to replace one of the steel fuel lines going into the TBI that I twisted, who's got the best prices on OEM stuff? Also, any electrical gurus out there who can help me figure out why power isn't getting to my fuel pump? Good place for a decent price on 16" tires?

Thanks!
Greg

Re: resurrected

Good to see you here. I've got a 3yr old girl wanting to "fix daddy's old truck" and go for a ride. She's also said we're going to fix it tomorrow. She's been saying that for a few months now. No idea where she got that trait from...

Re: resurrected

Welcome back Greg. JAZ sells all sorts of filler necks. I ut one of theirs on mine. You will have to redrill holes in the fuel cell, but it can be done with it in the truck...just be sure to empty the tank and clean out the shavings. I ran a shop vac in there while I drilled.

Again, glad to see you around again!

welcome back! I had twin girls and now they're 4yrs old. They love passing the tools to me and getting me cold drinks. I always loved your truck.

Glad to have you back. I'm glad to see you have interest in your truck again. Also nice to see another Oklahoma guy around.

Re: resurrected

Thanks guys! I got the fill neck ordered, so I'm set to get the fuel cell waterproof. I'll just need to snag a new battery then start chasing down the issue of power to my fuel pump.
