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... For those interested, the part number is MEG143. Does anyone know if we still get a discount with Jim Carter? ~Justin 1937 Chevy 1/2-ton "Wylburr Clyde" In the Stovebolt Gallery More pictures on Google My Grandfather bought it new and Dad drove it through highschool.

If not go, then contact John and Peggy and let them know what the deal is. 1937 Chevy Pickup In the Gallery 1952 Chevy Panel In the Gallery More photos 1950 Chevy Coupe Pictures!

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!!
