Thread: 1940 Ford Pickup

Tweet

Did some needed updating on the truck. I replaced the frame mounted fuel pump with a in tank pump and replaced about 18 feet of rubber fuel line with stainless steel line . Its so much Quiter now , don't hear the pump tank at all. Cutting the 3.25 inch hole in the stainless tank was pita, used up 2 hole saws.

Made some blocks to hold the lines. pic shows pressure line installed using gas line as a gromet, return line fills the other hole.

Another update on the truck was a new BearClaw latch on the passengers side door, it kept unlatching no matter what I did so I cut it out and installed a new one.


Painted and will post pick.
pic of paint, just need a little buffing

Fuel lines look nice. I have dulled so many drill bits on stainless, it is not fun to work with.

Very nice work! That stainless is definitely hard on hardware.
