Gas heater fuel line
So the pressure fitting on the fuel line from the gas tank for the heater on my 60' has busted and it looks like I'm gonna have to make my own piece. Can anyone please help me out and point me in the right direction in either a replacement or an alternative
Thanks guys

Stained driveway
Hey everyone!
So i have a 1960 700 with a power glide and it's leaking (circled in yelow on picture) transmission fluid from what I believe is part of the throttle linkage right above the transmission pan
Can anyone teach me how to stop this leak??
Thanks!
