Another Mopar Off My Bucket List

Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I had absolutely no luck with the rust penetrant on the gas tank sending unit screws. The problem is that they were so rusty that they wanted to crumble whenever I exerted any force on them. I decided to drop the tank to get a better handle on removing them.

Holy crap that's a big gas tank. It's 5&1/2 foot long. The dirt and remnants of undercoating on it make it look pretty shabby. It wasn't too difficult to get out except for the one hanger bolt that was right behind the cab and had to be accessed from above. I'm glad I hadn't bolted the box onto the frame yet. A buddy stopped over and helped me to slide the box back about 6". Then he loaned me all of his 1/2" drive extensions so that I could reach the bolt from above the box.
