Seems like the GM urethane covers only have a 20 year life span before they self-destruct. I gladly do that for the advantage of last year of NO CATS. I note the shock piston rod looks larger diameter than stock. Anything trick with those?

Thanks....
I have always used the smart struts on any C3 that I have owned. Makes it way easy for the rear alignment. Yes it is the original tank, will post some pics for you. Mine is a very low mileage vehicle, but had a lot of surface rust due to it only being in a 3 sided type garage in CT with very damp flooring.
I redid the tank, and it came out decent. Pics below...
My rear bumper came apart in pieces....lol I have the Truflex replacements for both front and rear.
We got lucky with our 74's, the last year of the true dual exhaust....
I am trying the QA1 non adjustable shocks, so we shall see how they do. Still undecided on the rear spring, the VBP #340 lb spring that was intended for the 74 has been on my 82 for the last 5 years. I may put the original metal spring back on the 74, or take the glass spring off of the 82 and put it on the 74. Don't know as of yet.....lol
the tank....before and after...
