I cannot emphasize enough how much you should not pour abrasives into your engine. Any engine. Ever. Don't do that. The time for machine work is prior to assembly.

Me too!

Got a hood with 784 fewer rust holes (aka none) from Mark at Mark's Offroad, a brand new 22 gallon tank from Aero Tanks and bought some door bows from a Mud member. Also filled the tank on my welder (which of course had to be replaced due to age) and a few other welding supplies.

Nice rig! I need to replace all of my weather seals on my 72 also. Here's what I'm getting from City Racer. I would include part numbers but your truck is a later model than mine and will need different seals in several places. Obviously, you have Ambulance doors instead of the tailgate/hatch...

Mike told me that it's been a while since he sold one of these and he's looking for the file with the instructions in it. If I get them, I'll share them here. Would you do the same? The website is not great. I talked to him, let him know that the tank was listed under Ford. He was...

I really appreciate it but I have to pass. I just bought this new tank. But thank you again. That's excatlty what I was looking for before I bought mine. It looks like Jim (Downey) is interested in it though.

So I bought this tank because Jim doesn't have tanks anymore and they never go up for sale. The day I bring it home, a Downey tank comes up for sale. and Jim is going to buy it, thus disproving my theory that they never come up for sale and Jim doesn't have any. Guys this is how tears in the...

No thanks, I just bought this tank. But I would have been all over it a week ago.

Got my tank from mike at Aero Tanks today. Less than a week since i placed the order. I picked it up in person so I had a chance to chat with mike. Nice guy. First Impressions: This thing is BEEFY! Definetly at least as heavy as my old Con Fer tank. I'll likely repaint it before I install...

I don't think it'll be a problem but I'll let everyone know.

Agreed. That's why I initially passed them up. But once I ran out of choices, I gave them a call.

I really wanted a Downey tank for my 72 but he isn't making them anymore. I thought I had an old Con Fer tank but it's disappeared over the years. Neither tank comes up on the used market very often and Jim (Downey) warned me against the style of tank that bolts through the floor. Of course...

Yes. I recently discovered that they are called "Door Bows" and I'm missing them too. They are 2 piece affair, inner and outer. Looks like you may already have the inners.
