"Can" and "fiberglass"? I've seen the 303 vacuum can and the ball, but one with a fiberglass coating I've not seen. Now I'm curious. Where are the pics???? :nabble_smiley_happy:

I hope to get pictures this weekend.

Been fur kid sitting, 3 dogs & 4 cats, and a helper comes in when I am at work so only been doing little things to the truck.

I picked up the bike tube for the gate chain $4.70+ tax. At 26" I should have a lot left over where I think the LMC ones where $6+ for 2 short pieces.

When in Walmart for the bike tube I picked up a cheap $30 seat cover. Not what I wanted but will do for now.

To do the repair I pulled the bracket off.

This is after 2 glass coatings & paint sorry no before pictures.

About the 11:00 is where I added the wire to fill the gap.

Hole was at 7:00

This was the bottom when it was mounted in the truck. The mount was installed off from where it was.

I only did the glass where the pin holes were.

And yes I used a hole punch and added a hole in the middle of the cover.

Bike tube size was 26" x 1 1/4" - 1 3/8" wide

Hade enough to do 2 sets (4) of chains for under $5

I think I could have sent you one of those w/o rust. But, that one shouldn't rust any more. :nabble_smiley_good:

Chains look good as well. Good progress.

Back in the day if you had a leaking fuel tank and want a fast cheap fix was to pull the tank clean the outside good and fiber glass it, let it dry a few days and you were good to go.

I figured if it worked on fuel takes it would work on a vacuum tank.

I did not coat the whole vacuum tank just a little past the pin holes. I wanted to keep the look of a stock factory can and the glass rosin would not have done that and why it is still close to the bottomand cant be seen.

It is funny that it rusted on the bottom and not have water in it and it looked to be from the inside out.

I am thinking it must have been leaking before I got it as I could not get the HVAC to work right, no or low vacuum. I installed the can last night so when I run it again I will check the HVAC system to see if it is now working with the can in place.

I did post some place but if someone is having trouble finding a vacuum leak to check this can for leaks also.

Always a but ..... the compressor does not come with hose manifolds. I spent a few hours with the parts CD and found the part numbers

suction E1AZ 19E583-A

discharge E1AZ 19E582-A Think they come with the bolts & gaskets.

I hate body work! It is closer to paint! I hate body work!

I had no work today again so the plan was to get the hood in primer. That was the plan yesterday also but only turned on the lights and never made it back out because I hate body work!

With a lot of time on a flat board air sander and by hand with a flat board we got her done and in primer. I hate body work!

Being I was on a roll and not knowing the time I pulled the right rear fender off the bed, I only had 2 nuts holding it on. I had to finish sanding it to prep for primer and I got that done also.

Because the left rear fender has the 2 fuel filler hoses & doors I would have to undo before I can pull the fender off and was running out of time is why it was not done.

The hood has some pin holes and I think the fender did also so I need to find my glazing putty as I am not using a high build primer.

Did I tell you I hate body work!?

Thanks for the links they were the ones I found and had sticker shock with when I was looking on what all was needed to get a working system.

Depending on the needed parts I get I may not need them.

Then again truck still needs paint and put back together before I would need AC LOL

Thanks again

Dave - Why don't you tell us how you feel? :nabble_smiley_thinking:

Seriously though, you are making progress, and as Jim is wont to say, "progress is good". :nabble_smiley_good:
