Fuel overflow line for the filler neck. Look right next to it and notice the larger line.

[KtmRacer419]

those are some long shackles

i see no real benefit, stock shackles with shackle boxes will leave my binding leaves and short shocks as my limits (soon just binding leaves)

your pinion will touch your floor when you jump shit

[JustTorchIT]

yup.... so here is my beautiful snape'd



and here is the big whole in my floor


gas tank skid fitted in



I LIKE


Basicly, this was really easy to do, and all i got left to do is build a tin box over the top.
it took a little bit of finagling to get it to fit good. and i found that if i were to do it again i wouldnt cut past the spot welds on the frame. intead i would just hammer it down flush.

cuz now i have to weld all this back together

i like your gas tank Idear

[JustTorchIT]

mmkay, update time.

i fucked my car up the other day so this project went into overdrive and im happy where im at now.

- i got the rear of the unibody plated and the leaf mounts boxed aswell.
- put 3 inch leaf packs in the rear, sits a lil unlevel, but im happy with it
- welded the axle tubes on the rear axle
- cut teh leaf perches off then rewelded them on so they are even
- cut the shock mounts off and moved the shocks up, now using stock rear shocks
- welded the gas tank skid in, ratchet strapped the gas tank in the rear
- did a bunch of little time consuming shit

i still gotta build a box over the gas tank and seal it up with greatstuff, cuz my exhaust dump right before my axle and it comes right into the cab, and having the windows down isnt allways going to be an option.

I also registered it and its my daily driver again. =]

Red is back on the road! Woo Hoo!

Hey i have an idea, Youa re gonna want the cover for the gas tank to be removable. So, you could make a box to cover it, and use rubber door gaskets to make a nice tight seal on the floor and then just latch it down to the floor on each side using lock latches, just screw the hinged side to the box and the turnable lock side to the floor. Should be very cheap and easy to remove with out the mess of great stuff.


Or since you welded the skid in just fill in the open space around the skid with sheet metal and build a cover after that. But leave the holes in the botton of the skid if it has any for drain type purposes.

i agree with kyle. dont use great stuff its a moisture magnet.

[snowblur17]

are you just gonna cut a hole through the body to connect your filler neck? I think I'm going to build one big shelf out of something over the tank so that it's at least flat back there. my floor is in really bad shape back there

[JustTorchIT]

well right now, i just pop the hatch to fill it, but i will be feeding a hose out to the fuel hatch.

[KtmRacer419]

oh shit, didnt even notice the fuel tank mod.

if i were to do it, i would be pissed off to hell if i couldn't fill it up normal.

ie if i move it up 6" then im moving the fuel door up 6"

you dont need to move the fuel door unless your being sarcastic.....

i just need to drill a whole with the wholesaw, and get a new longer hose
