Clyde has a small fuel leak somewhere around the 5/8 full line and I have been looking into material to recover the seats while I had the tank out.

During my search, I came across an article on Jim Carter's blog about seat covers. At the very bottom of the article was this line, "SURPRISE: As of December 2016, new 1937 gas tanks are in stock. Just like GM made them 8 [sic] years ago!" I assume the 8 is a typo as the trucks are 80 this year.

Well, I searched and searched the catalog to no avail. Today I called JC and Pat confirmed that my wildest dreams had come true! They have in stock a brand new underseat fuel tank for the '37 half tons!

For $350 you get a new tank complete with a new bung for the filling port and new sending unit. Know I know what Clyde wants for his birthday... smile

For those interested, the part number is MEG143.

Does anyone know if we still get a discount with Jim Carter?

Still a 10% to stovebolters but you'll have to ask for it. If not go, then contact John and Peggy and let them know what the deal is.

Thanks cletis, I had forgot to mention that...... One reason a vendor or two stopped giving discounts was because everyone was giving out the "password" and not making a contribution.

Hope this clears things up for everyone that I may have misled!!

What does 'a contributor' mean? As in financially or does it mean a contributor to the forums? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone found pads for under the tank in a '37? Has anyone found anything worth while to use?
