Owen, I wrote down your shocks and will look them up on the net.
I got a fuel tank gasket from Max and although it's a flat ring it sealed up ok. I installed the fuel tank today but will order the anti-squeak from Restoration Specialties when they finally send me their catalog.
I also rebuilt the sway bar and reinstalled it. I had forgotten there is a bias built into the arms and installed them backward at first and had to disassemble and turn them around. All is bolted up fine now. I was going to adjust the TL turnbuckle but held off because I have a lot more weight to hang on the front and rear. It looks like it rides very high right now but I assume that's because the extra weight isn't there yet.
New gas line tomorrow
