HI GUYS!
My Cherokee is painted and is still require a little more transformation! However....
We had it on the lift and was getting ready to apply the chassis saver to everything and hubby noticed we have a leak in the gas tank. We need a new one.
I found one thread that talks about the 79 tank not the same as 78 or older and nothing newer fits either.
My question is what tank can I use if I can't locate a 1979? What about the Grand Wagoneers and would the year matter?
I really don't think I'll find a 1979 Jeep Cherokee gas tank local (Rhode Island) and this was supposed to be a low budget project!
Can anyone help me out with some options?
ALSO,
I got a set of 1978 Cherokee 3 piece bumpers that will not fit. The ones that were on it were junk so we cut them off. Hubby has a pipe bender and is thinking about bending me some but I'm slightly leaning toward keeping it on the original side. Now I have NO bumpers.
So I suppose I have a set of 78 bumpers if someone is looking, and I wonder if someone has a good set of 79's?
The Grand Wagoneers look like that have rubber bumperettes(?) on them and I dont know if they will match up to mine. There is a few GW's close by so I'm hoping that the bumpers will match up and the gas tank is the same.
So far those are the biggest issues. Hubby is replacing the float on the sending unit now so I'll have a gauge that works!
I can't WAIT to show pics but I'm not allowed till it's closer to completion but you all are going to freak!
Thank you-
Bev
