On my 61 Apache, the fuel tank is under the frame in the rear. I was told this tank was purchased from LMC. LMC only sells under the frame tanks for 1963-1966 C10's and not 1961. I believe that is why it does not have conventional straps holding it up. The sending unit that LMC sells along with this tank is also for a 1963-66 C10 not a 1961. Is there an ohms difference between a 1961 sending unit and a 1963-66? If so, that may be why my 1961 gauge does not work.
Does anyone sell universal straps for a fuel tank? The ones on this tank are the strapping that is used on a wooden pallet and need to be cut off and cant be reused.
Thanks

1960-1966 C10 Gas Tank Sending Units and Gas Gages:

1960-1964 were 0-30 ohms, no debate

1965 and newer were 0-90 ohms, debatable....

I bought my gas tank and related parts from "Tanks, Inc." They sell universal tank straps: http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/p...=277/category_id=62/mode=prod/prd277.htm

Inspired to be different. Different in a way of my own, not in a way that others strive.
