austinsailor Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I did something real dumb. I had the ring that holds the fuel tank sending unit in my 53 Plymouth laying in the console of my Dodge dually. I sold the dually. I didn't get the ring out of the truck. When I remembered my screwup, I called the buyer and it had been cleaned out. If anyone has a ring from a tank that isn't usable, or just a ring they won't use, I'd gladly pay for it. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing there is a broad range of years and cars (and probably trucks) that would fit it.

austinsailor Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 That is great! Add some money to whatever I'm going to owe you for those other parts and it'll be like Christmas when they get here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I know that the '63 D200 I had used a locking ring to hold the sending unit on the tank. How long did they use that ring and did it change over the years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy49 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Decades, and you can buy them new in the Help! section at your generic parts house. May have to be ordered, the Help! book has a zillion items in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54Illinois Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 That is great!

At the rate we are going it will be Christmas by the time you get them...my fault of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinsailor Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'll check with NAPA this week. And, 54Illinois, I'm taking it apart now to sandblast the body, so the parts aren't that time critical. I do want them, though! Thanks.

54Illinois Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Sounds good. I have some heavy duty cardboard so I may wrap it seperately from the battery holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
