Yeah and what's the plan?
Wheeled the wee out of it for a couple of days. Broke the front locker fork, pulled both thirds to swap forks. Worked great for the rest of the ten day trip. Finally broke the trans crossmember after wheeling iceman, Hal johns, t-back, full monkey and Kong in SD. On the trailer half way back to IL now.
I finished the new carb install and fired it up and took the fam for a ride.

Where did you get this tank? Is it identical to the one you pulled out?
From Terry, out of Brian Steen's old Pig...that Royal used to own. It's a '74, identical to my old tank and in remarkably good condition inside. Even got the vapor separator and the little hoses. Putting it in now.
Edit: I've never seen these stickers before...

Been a bit since ive been in here, but my pig was down for a year and a half.
350 flattened the cam.
It is now sporting a 400 small block.
Kept the 700r4 though.
It did 70 all the way across utah a week later, and averaged 14mpg.

be extra careful when entering your rig. there is more room and one may become complacent when doing the final jumping step up onto the seat....you dont want to end up with 5 staples in your head and a hum dinger of a headache. like I did, but the freedom is spectacular, Just gotta lock everything down or only carry stuff you dont mind missing. Still, I'm going forward with the sub half door I'm cookin up.

I did the same thing in high school, with my El camino. I was too quick to drop in, ended up with a nice gash and a fractured skull courtesy of my gutter!

wheeled spring creek and had to drag a dead jeep through. had to go up to get to an area where we could get it turned around to go down. this involved a narrow steep climb up a wet trail of loose rock. the ledge was waaaaayyyyyy tooooo close for comfort and it was a bit hair raising at times...
Damn, I'm getting a little queasy just looking at that last picture.
