I had the same experience Don describes with the aluminum tool. My local store only had the aluminum one so I bought it. I spent about 30 minutes grinding and filing it. It then worked great. Multiple people said to use the cork gaskets. My kit came with the neoprene ones. Is the issue...

Once you have the right tools and make sure the tank is low, it is a piece of cake to replace. The Les Andrews book has great pictures.

Very cool. I remember how excited I was when I won my first award.

Yep, 76th and National. Good memory!

In West Allis, Wisconsin, (a suburb of Milwaukee) there is historical landmark pagoda style gas station that closed a number of years ago. Thankfully, they did not tear it down. It is now preserved as a little mini-park in the same location. I thought you might enjoy a few pictures I took of the...

In light of the recent unfortunate passing of two of the regular and very knowlegeable Ford Barners, I would like to say thank you to everyone that helps each other out on this site. This is a great group of folks that have taught me, and many others I am sure, a ton of stuff about this hobby...

After watching this all I can say is ho-lee-cow. Any my wife acustes me of keeping too much stuff.

I find it difficult to fill up the truck with the strainer in the gas tank filler neck. It causes the gas to splash back or shut off the pump. Is this strainer really necessary if I always fill up at a service station? I also have the screen and glass bowl correctly installed, so I am not...

Awesome job. Looks very nice.

I entered the pickup in a local Lion's Club car show over the weekend. There were about 250 cars and trucks. For some reason, all the trucks were in 1 class, no matter how old or whether they were modified or not. A bit strange, but oh well. It was a beautiful day and almost every vehicle was...

At least in the milwaukee area, replating was roughly twice the cost of the bumpers from Little Dearborn. I bought them and am very happy with them.

I just tightned mine by holding the fan. It got snug enough that it will not move and the cotter pin will keep it from getting loose.

When I removed my running boards, the area you talk about is a pair of "J" shapes that interlock. You just remove all the bolts and lift the running board up and it will come out. Very simple.
