So last week I pulled the gas tank out, and the sending unit, and oh boy...

RUST: My enemy:


Behind my car so that it could be out in the sun for pics...






Talking to a fellow hotrodder today, he mentioned a good steam cleaning has a **** fine chance of cleaning all that out. Looking into it.

But, thank god for Chevy love... I've been offered to pick up a tank from another member of 67-72chevy trucks from his wrecked truck. So, I might be scoring a tank and new sending unit out of this deal for cheap!

Once that's done, start it up, test the newly rebuilt (for the 3rd time) alternator, and may get a test drive in!

And, also...

THIS IS WHY WHEN YOU STORE A CAR, YOU STORE THE CAR WITH A GOD**** FULL TAKE OF GAS AND STABILIZER!

Thank you
