dasbrick Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Just got this thing, an 87 with very minimal rust (and that says something for Michigan!) Need: Sending Unit (4.0/Long bed... fuel won't read past half) Fuel Tank (Long bed) Shifter Boot (yep, just the boot.) Headlight Switch for dash (complete) Center Floor Console for 4WD/5 speed (Previous owner had some plywood stuff in the shifter...) Doors (both sides, don't care color) bucket Seats (prefer the flip forwards) Radio Bed Toolbox Bed Rollbar Blue means I may have got a deal pending, red is got it, don't need anymore.

Pete M Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 general consensus for fuel tanks is to just go buy a new one. they are impossible to ship used (hazardous), and anything from your area is likely just as bad of shape. :( there are 2 tanks available for the longbeds (16 and 23 gal), and they do not interchange with a shortbed (18 gal).

dasbrick Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Good to know, I didn't know there was two tanks for the LB. Is their a measurement on them, so I can look? Also, I agree. they don't ship well, and the ones from here are usually bad. If I found one I was gonna rhino-line it before replacing it. At least I know now I have to be exact on the sending unit.

Pete M Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm not up on the measurements. :dunno: But I'm not sure you'd need to line the outside. the old one lasted 20 years. I doubt you'll ever have to replace it again. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratrapp Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 the difference in tanks is the 23 gallon uses 3 straps to hold it up and the smaller tank uses only 2 straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbrick Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Well then I so totally have a 23g, cuz i put the third strap back on yesterday after the previous owner had it off for a repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 18 Gal 16 3/4"X30 1/2" 23 Gal 17"X37" measurement taken with ruler flat on the weld seam. When trying to salvage a tank I have covered the outside with fiberglass. Make sure you get it clean, all rust and dirt off. Otherwise you're just wasting your time. On the inside get some aircraft tank sealer. Seals holes and rust. In your case I'd just get a new tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini console has just the console - no boot and the center is not present (so I believe it came from a standard). Headlight switch is complete with pull handle (fits throu hole in dash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbrick Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 I need the part with the hole too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula69 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I need the part with the hole too! :huh???: I've never had a standard, so I probably wouldn't know the part if I stepped on it. I would suggest that (knowing AMC) it probably just snaps into the console. Now, if you're talking about the surround that fits into the dash that the headlight pull handle goes thru, no...I don't have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 The part that snaps in for auto and/or manual is interchangeable. The bare consoles are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepinSoldier Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have a grey mini center console that came out of my 1990 bench seat 5 speed manual. I have swapped in buckets and a Cherokee center console so its just sitting on my workbench. It is complete with the console itself, shifter boot retainer frame(Plastic), and the transfer case 4WD indicator plate. There are two tabs where the console bolts to the transmission tunnel bracket. The one directly under the shifter boot is broken at the bottom (It was that way when I bought the truck. The console never rattled, but I'm sure you could get a small L shaped bracket from Lowe's or Home Depot and rig somthing as well if you want. The original shifter boot was cracked, but in casting around for parts I ended up with 2 other nice ones so this one looks good with no cracks or holes. $30 for complete console and boot shipped. PM me with shipping address and for Paypal if interested. Pix on request. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepinSoldier Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Here is the mini console. Disassembled with the console, transfer case indicator plate, boot mounting bracket and boot: The broken mounting tab: Assembled: As you can see, if you drill a hole in the side of the mounting tab - you could then use a machine screw and nut to hold a small L shaped bracket to it and then run the stock screw through the bracket to the tunnel mount. Not necessary really. I never realized it was broken until I removed the console to pull the carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
