New in cab fuel tank install today

Just installed a new tank in cab in my 66'. All went smooth thanks to awesome advice given by fellow forum members. A big thanks. New tank, sending unit, gasket, filler neck, grommet and cap. All snug and nice. No more fuel smell in the cab. Feel better taking the kids around town now. Again, a big thanks to the forum members for helping ease my mind about taking on this job.

I did mine today too...
It wasn't bad. I had an old Jeepster that always had a fuel related issue and it got really old.
For a little over $200 I have a little piece of mind with this rig.

The fuel pump to carb section came off of the parts motor with the fuel pump last week when I swapped it. It has a clear cleanable fuel filter so I thought it would be nice to keep an eye on things. Once I saw how bad the tank was I realize that poor little filter wasn't up to the job. Luckily I didn't try to run it off the tank.
When I put the Holley 500 on it I plan to redo that part of the line. The rest is new or cleaned hard line.
