? Looks like a 97+ front clip.

I had a hard time finding gas tank strap bolts. After looking for a while I finally found some cheap and readily available. Goodmark PN# GMK2111749681. You can get them from Rock Auto or Summit. Hopefully this will save someone else some time.

What years are you working on? This will help everyone help you.

This thing is awesome!

If it's a factory tank there is a bracket in the baffle that the bottom of the sender goes in. I also use Vaseline on the sender seal. It will hold it in place and the lock ring guess on easier.

Rear coil swap/ full Comanche rebuild

Sounds awesome how about some pictures. -
Welcome to the club! Very nice looking truck you have there. As stated above work through cruisers tips first. This will save you allot of time later. I have found using Google and adding Comanche club to the search works great. ( Jeep Comanche 2wd to 4wd swap Comanche club) this will take you to a few swaps. There's quite a few. I would also add your truck specifications to you signature. It will help with questions. Welcome to the addiction!

Awesome find!

Then I had to fix my front tank strap mount. As you can see it wasn't holding much. Got it all cleaned up and welded a large thick washer to the good metal that was left. It is definitely good to go for a while. While I had the tank it I ran a new brake line to the rear. As you can see when it rusted it the PO just ran it out around the gas tank. All new and shiny, makes the rest of the truck look that much more rusty. For the third time since I've owned it I filled it until the pump stopped. First time was when I drive it home. Second time was the time after that when I realized I had a descent sized fuel leak. This time it is full and all staying in! Should have fixed this along time ago!

I finally collected all the pieces to replace my leaky fuel tank. It would only leak if you filled it over 3/4 tank. The truck had always had a bit of fuel she'll to it. So today the old tank came out. There was a nice little crack that when I pushed on it became a hole. That nice little hole sprayed gas everywhere while I was dropping the tank. Bought a tank from Rock Auto. Liland Global it was cheap $104 to my door. It is a little thin but not bad. It does have the baffle in it. Everything thing else I needed to put it in. The tank came with the lock ring and seal. I had a hard time find a listing for the strap bolts. I found these on Summit and Rock Auto. Goodmark GMK2111749581. They are all but an exact match. Quick couple of coats of paint on the tank straps. I was lucky enough to but a couple sets of them from Rock Auto on wholesale closeout for $4 a set. Painted the fuel neck while I had it out. It's in surprisingly good shape just a little rusty. Nothing a wire wheel and a couple coats of paint couldn't fix. I bought fuel filler hoses for a Cherokee and cut them down. They worked quite well actually.

First Comanche (project)
JMO413 replied to SeasToSwamps's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
If I remember right that seat looks very S-10 ish also. The seeing column makes since, our trucks do have a very common Saginaw column. I paid $1200 for one with a hole in the frame. To each their own. Seems reasonable to me. -
That is awesome!
-
I would also add to double check the routing. Make sure there's no sharp bends and that it is secure.
-
Very sorry to hear this. Hope everything turns out good for you.

You're are right I remember reading someone's build thread that had one. Now if I could just remember who.

I thought it was just an Iowa thing.
