it's impossible for me to tell what the surrounding metal looks like but mine is in same location and appears to be same size. what year is your tank?

well if renu did it or not i am glad for the extra drainage.thank's for the opinions guys,i was just curious as heck about it. now all's i have to do is install it and run all new fuel lines while i'm at it.

okay guys and thanks. i was curious because i hadn't seen this extra opening in any literature. i guess now that i have plenty of drainage if needed!

i should have been more clear;the threads are female and they protrude slightly from the bottom.i went to a local hardware store and bought a 3/4 brass plug and it fit perfectly.

i have the opening at the rear of the tank. this 3/4 pipe opening is underneath the tank towards the front leading edge. it looks like the threads are brass but i cant tell if its been added or not because the tank has had the renu process. everything else on the tank looks the same as my tank from ...

i just bought another fuel tank for my 63' m37 and noticed that underneath the tank there was a threaded opening that took a 3/4 pipe plug. it's located towards the front lower edge. is this stock? or was it something that someone added? my 53' m37 didn't have it and neither did the tank in my 63'.

thanks for the tips guys. this will give me something to do monday!

so even with the bushing in front of it the slide hammer did the job? i'll have to buy or borrow a slide hammer then. i was going to fit sections of pipe from one side to the other. your way sounds easier!

to change my inner axle seals in my front axle do i have to drive the seal from the inside out to remove? i noticed when i removed the axle shaft that the seal was behind a brass bushing out towards the end of the axle tube.

i see them on ebay all the time.just go to ebay motors and type in m37.

i think what you are describing is wire #85. the wiring diagram that i'm looking at shows it coming off the ignition switch and going nowhere. it must be an extra power source if you need it.

okay, thanks charles,i'll install them dry.

thank's david. i didn't think they should be dry, but i just did't know for sure. when you say light oil;do you mean something like a three in one oil?

hi guys;can anyone tell me if the front knuckle felt is supposed to be installed dry or not . i've never changed one and i can't find any info on the subject. i'm getting ready to install one of ray's front disc kits and figure i should freshen up everything in the front end while i'm at it.

luckily i still have some time left to make a decision. heck i'd even consider chevy parts if they seem to work better. idealy a deisel swap would be best, but i'm looking at money limitations and i'm more familiar with gasoline engines. and your right, i'm not a purist. i want to leave the look of ...
