Nice truck!

Thanks for the advise. It did help me solve a rusty tank problem though. After I completed the first phase of the fixer up brakes and all. I took it to the carwash and almost didn't make it. So I replaced the cheapest first. Fuel filter with clear plastic. It clogged up really quickly with rust that I could see through the clear filter. So out with the tank, tank to a local tank wash, back in which lead me to carb bowl full of rust. So now that all is running good, and clean. I think a metal filter is tomorrow's project
