oh boy wrenchman..after being a driver/mechanic in the big rigs for years..(retired)..and owning fords that I had to fix in order to get back to work the next day, I know exactly what you are talking about..they do make things now so we backyard wrenchers have a hard time doing......unless we are about 3'tall and have another joint between the wrist and the elbow...after going through 2 gas tanks in my broncos..had 2 each..because of leaks...rust....lol...ford/rust?...lmao...anyhow..what I ended up doing was to get to the tank pump, I just cut a trap door in the back to get to the top of the tank..pump..you might not want to do this in a pickup....Listen now..I have owned ford trucks/ one thunderbird/ 2 mark lincolns 1 towncar/..2 broncos and more tools to fix all of them I care to talk about...I had to look on the front of my home garage to make sure it didn't have a sign saying 'ford repairs made daily' there..I became the neighborhood mechanic too...I just can't figure out why fords don't come with a spare motor in the trunk instead of spare tire..I never owned one I havn't had to change motors in and I take care of them with my heart..(think is why I had 5 heart attacks)lmao....BUT.and I know this will spark some digs in the never ending story of ford vs chevy vs dodge...etc...but I went to dodge 1500....I opened the hood on the thing and wondered where all the gizmos were..there is 1/2 the things under there that block things like sparkplugs etc...wow...and believe it or not, my tools are getting rusted from lack of use..for real....I know this because my 2 cousins own fords and guess who they bring them to for repairs......the man that knows every bolt in a ford by name..FRED/BOB/JOE..and I just had to toss out all the body fillers and sandpaper I had laying around and replace them with WAX...yep...I actually get to have something I can wax....want to invent something...(they did already called EXTEND)...invent a wax for rust ...anyhow..I sold my mark lincolns as buy one get one free...for real...one for parts...I want to thank you for bringing up a subject that let me vent too....lol....good luck and say hello to FRED/BOB and JOE...I sure don't miss them..
