You're right, the box begins to be crowded.
Already carrying a spare ignition module, a caliper spring kit, couple of spare fuses. I seriously need to consider installing a rear seat storage...  Am I slowly Garyizing myself?

 Rear tank is rusty at front, which catches dirt and water, that’s why I apply 3M undercoat. Al new wiring, new transfer valve and switch. Cleaned, treated and painted frame where tank goes. Used double sided tape to hold anti-squeak in place. Coated top of tank with 3M undercoat, Coated bottom of tank with two coats of paint because of spare tire fits tight and might pick up some undercoat if used on bottom. Added ten gallons of gas and gauge reads 1/4 tank??? O LORD Mr. Ford.! I’ll take a break before I break something. New hose.new sender and new vent. CJ
