Confirmed. Just did some searching. Seems 88-90 tanks are the same and 91-93 tanks are the same according to car-part.com

 

[pwerwagn]

Cool. Thanks for the info. Unfortunately... I found an 89 and I was going to pull the tank!! Fortunately... now I wont waste my time!!



Last time I checked car-part there werent any listed! Now there are 2. Imma see what it'll take to get one here.



thanks again... hijack over!

 

[RSchwarzli]

Glad I could help!

Did not get much done this weekend as I was picking up a buddies 68 Polara all day Saturday, and today consisted of finishing off the Ramcharger, putting all the saved parts away, then cleaning up the giant rust mess all over the garage!

Hmmmm not much sheilding on that tank yet.

On a serious note there is a hose in the first pic that is laying on another hose and a cross member. I know your in the middle of a build and prolly already have plans for it but a few clamps/retainers go a long way.

At least you done with the rust charger!

 

[RSchwarzli]

Lol. Correct. There will be band clamps, pull ties, retainers, as well as wire plastic protectors on everything. Until I finish the cutting and splicing of the system... .

Yes. Also correct. Not much tank protection yet. Thinking a giant flame retardant sock... . :-laf

Family picnic, a couple few to many beers...
"Hey y'all. Watch this!"

 

[RSchwarzli]

Hahahahahahahaha.

 

[HHhuntitall]

I've got matches. Nice. And how many gallons does the rear tank hold on a ramcharger, again?

 

[RSchwarzli]

I don't like where you are going with this.

Tank holds 2 gal of water.

So it was Alive at 1 time hu ?

 

[JHumphries]

How tall was the ladder?
Or was it a trampoline? Oo.

 

[HHhuntitall]

I kinda figured he had to climb to the roof to get a good pic..... Those last ones were where he was coming down..... snap fast!!!



Oh!! Were those pics from the former retaining wall?!? They said it was a small affair.....

 

[RSchwarzli]

Ss

Yes. It did live at one time. Just was not reliable enough to take very far. That's how this mess started.

JH

I am a really tall person.


HH

Ha! Lol. No had nothing to do with that wall.

Those were actually done in a lift. Was doing some roof repairs and we happen to have rented one of those booms for a day. Made good use of it. Then was told to get back to work.

 

[JHumphries]

... Then was told to get back to work.

Let me guess. The Wife... er I mean Boss

 

[RSchwarzli]

Actually was my fathers place and as he does not do heights.....

 

[SRay]

Bscwarzli: Your airbags in the w350 are a little flat. Maybe a bicycle pump should help there. Or maybe a foot pump?
