this will be the adapter from the 3inch filler hose to the 2 inch fuel tank neck.just a piece of 2 inch ID filler hose on the small end to the tank neck. 16.00 bucks on ebay, and stainless steel!

yes, its for early 60's J series trucks, gonna be an extended time for install as it will take some more extensive work to get the tank mounts installed correctly. I don't want to have to do it twice!! I got this tank from T rex auto online, comes with a sending unit as well

now that I got my 87 GMC out of the shop I can get started on getting my new plastic tank for my 715 ready to go!! gonna take some modification for the mounting brackets but not to severe.I will keep ya posted on the progress!

It's running but not a lot of traffic on there these days

I know the military pump has 8 bolts and the civilian model has 7 for mounting as well as different...

hey there!! well I got the 715 fired up!! I was surprised how easily it started!! No messing around at all, purrs like a kitten!! It needs a water pump but I have found one for it !! Has anyone done away from the heavy 3 belt pulley on the water pump to just a single or lighter double groove...
