    short box saddle tank differences

    I did quite a bit of more searching and checking out the box I bought, after I posted this and think I came to the same conclusion and that the box I have had the filler housings but are gone but I can see where they would bolt up.

    dual tank cable selector valve

    Its a 74 crew cab camper special with dual tanks and the tank selector is cable driven with a push pull knob in the cab. Anyone seen these? Are they still produced if I ever need parts? First one I've seen and parts catalogs show the electric ones. Just curious more than anything

    74 crew cab rear door lower hinge pin

    Anyone done this? I've done the other ones before but this one is a little different. The labor looks about the same don't know that I've seen the parts for it at Napa. I searched before posting just didn't see anything on those style.

    Back to grass roots

    Grew up around these square bodies with my uncle owning many of them. So as I grew up these were the trucks I flocked to, owning probably 10-15 of them over the years. I ended up going to school as a Ford tech and bought a newer Super Duty truck I recently sold cuz I have 2 kids in daycare...
