See if you can find a bed in a junkyard, you'll save money over a wooden bed plus it will look WAY better.

Yea, i've checked all the junkyards around here.. No luck, thank you though. No lumber for me today, I just found a fuel leak on that little piece of steel line coming out of the gas tank (of course the pressurized one.)

lol I was driving the other day (before I found this one) and a guy that lives by my girlfriend has one out behind his house. Idk if he'll part it out but it's been back there awhile. no doors or anything haha, Yea! that's what I'm thinking. Can you buy the steel line that comes right out of the sending unit? (the one that goes to the rubber hose)

Yeah you might as well see if he'll part it out. And i'm not sure but i don't see why you couldn't just buy that line.
