Valiant 41,560 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 G'day I'm quite a fan of LPG, got a pic of the old tank? There will be a valve where the fuel line meets the tank. Shut it off and crack the line, there will be some hissing but it just the gas still in the line, it won't hiss for long. You can take the tank out from there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunbeam 852 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Cheers. I’ll crawl under the deck and take a look. The mixer etc is up for grabs if someone has a use for it, free to a good home etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty straightforward really, though some of the screws are in awkward places. Also, slotted screws are of the devil, and should not be allowed in any automotive application. The lower dash panel obviously contained a lot of detritus, so I shook it out on the workshop floor... Actually a bit comical really. More live ammo too. .22, .22 magnum, and 12 gauge shot gun. Scabine would be a great name for the truck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ThePog 7,474 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Go with the sanding discs for sure, I mostly use 36 grit, they take a lot of material off for the first 5 mins then settle down sweet. For fine stuff 60 grit, but once it blunts it takes too long to do anything. I almost never use a grinding disc nowadays. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ben-jamminn 10 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Sorry, poste din the wrong bit before. But Yeah, when you re mount your flat deck, don't weld brackets to the chassis or you'll have to get a LVV cert. I did that on the last 109" flat deck I built and it was a pain! Make brackets that pick up on existing fixtures, or make a clamp arrangement 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunbeam 852 Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 Good to know. Sounds like a ballache. How did the re-vin people know the deck wasn’t always mounted like that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The LVV cert guy even thought it was a bit over kill, but was happy to cert it and collect his $600 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
