Bought a new/used rear tank off a southern truck with working fuel pump for 50 bucks it also included all the straps. So I installed that in my truck today and replaced my rusty tank that was on there.

Haha it was a pull a part yard, where you have to take parts off your self. It's cheap but working on a truck I a yard with no tools isn't fun, but well worth it! I got the last Tach cluster on the lot, and it happened to be a 96! Here's there web site there may be one near you http://www.pullapart.com/mobile.aspx#_home

Record 65 degrees today. Went out and checked all the grounds. One coming from the battery to the Body wasn't very snug, so I moved it to a different location.

Was hoping I could start it up and see if it made any difference. Battery is dead and my only hope for a jump hasn't been home in 6 hours.
