A real "White Knuckler" out there this morning ... accidents everywhere ... The roads turned to ice at @ 6:00 am and it was a slow tedious journey :<(

Morning woods, meeting with the new builders from China about 11:30. Buying a new/used truck fuel pump went on the old one and it's going to be a job.

Mark ... if it's a beater I've seen many just cut the floor of the bed to get quick easy access to the tank and the pump keeps you from dropping the tank and dealing with rusty/rotten straps and heavy tank ... once you're done just cover it with a piece of sheet metal ...

That's what I did on the last truck.Even took the cutout out piece put hinges on it and made a trap door. While I was listening for the fuel pump to kick on I smelled gas. Might not be a good idea on this one.
