Mileage: 136484
Engine: 4.9L
Drivetrain: M5OD-R2, 8.8" open diff
Notes: Driven on 1 tank for a few years, then abandoned when the 2nd tank gave out. Given to another owner who planned to fix it, but abandoned it in the woods for a few years. Given to a 3rd owner who planned to fix it, but abandoned it in the woods for a few years. Sold to me. I drove it home before stripping it down for thorough repairs. Then Frank bought it while his '75 Bronco is getting some P&B repairs, and eventually, it will be his oldest son's first vehicle.

Frank bought it a month ago, and it's finally back for one more front fuel pump.

These were another part of the vibration during acceleration... It has been significantly reduced again, but there's still a little around 60MPH. I think it's the tires.

This is another part of the vibration during acceleration... I have the engine lifted & the nut removed from the bottom of the mount at this point.

The dash clunked every time I hit a bump, so I tracked down & installed one of the few remaining repair kits.

To temporarily run the truck on 1 tank, it was necessary to plug both front tank lines, so I used the old rear tank plate. I heated both tubes to dry the old gas out & cook the varnish into ash. Then I used a brass bore brush to clean the tubes ins...

It'll be much easier to work on the tanks this way, rather than from below.

Even though I put a safety strap under the suspended bed, I rolled the chassis out to work on the tanks.
