    :Welcome: from Northeast Pennsylvania

    Glass rubbers and aftermarket quarter panels are available at Autokrafters
    Racing buckets - Jegs or Summit Racing
    Fuel tank is available and I'm sure someone will ID a source for you
    Wheel spacers - not sure but not too keen on using them as they put a lot of stress on the wheel studs

    Advice-you will get plenty as you have come to the right place :thumbs2:

    Where is South MO are you located?

    Here is a tech article on here swapping to a Mustang Tank

    You can also use a later Maverick tank which can be bought from NAPA, Rockauto.com and other places. You will need the longer straps as well.


    As far as wheel spacers, I personally don't like the idea as I feel it moves the bearing load on the spindle. Lot of people run them and they are available from Jegs, Summit and many online vendors.
