    fuel gague question

    before you bother with anything else, check the ground connection for the sending unit. its on the inside of the framerail, at about the middle of the tank. it comes through a hole in the frame and there is a star washer and a bolt that secures it to the frame.

    wheel size question

    they are ~9" wide and have roughly a 7" backspacing. to use them on a cucv pickup you must run a 2" spacer to get the rims out far enough that they dont hit the tierod casting on the knuckles.

    Battery concensus, what battery is the best??

    RE: 31 both interstate and deka make them, any real auto parts store should be able to get them for you. I have a battery warehouse in my neck of the woods that stocks them.

    Mysterious Water Leak

    your windshield seal could be the cause of the leak, how does the gasket look? as much as a pain it is, you might want to pull the dashpad to check (its not really that bad.)

    crossover steering...

    if its a 77, it would be worth looking at. the o-ring seal is what you need on the lines going into the steering box.

    crossover steering...

Mine has worked for years (when rebuilt...
