I didn’t have the gasket for the gauge glass, but I installed the cluster anyway. It was even harder to get the nuts on with that can on the back. It’ll come out again to add the gasket and add a way to keep the gas needle from dropping so low when de-energized. The truck was down for awhile while troubleshooting a gas leak. I finally found the tank had a crack under the foam gasket. That was on the top and was hard to find until I filled the full 34 gallons. I pumped all that out into Two other vehicles and a couple cans. My FLAPS got a replacement tank for me. I had been saving an old bike innertube for a decade and used that for the new tank to frame gasket. I’m still trying to figure out the fast flashing turn signals. The flasher relay is electronic and does flash slow on my other truck. I’m getting to drive the truck more than work on it, so that’s good. The steering is still feeling tight. There is a bushing where the shaft exits the column. The bushing is stationary. The cup joint contacts the bushing and binds. I was able to push the bushing up into the column to gain clearance. I’ll see if it stays out of the way, or if I need to fashion a way to keep it in place.
