Joe, I can send it or I can meet you guys somewhere when you come up,  I'd like to see you guys anyway.  We can meet in Sioux Falls or something if you don't want to come all the way up here.  Hit me up on Facebook whatever you want to do.  I'll just give them to you.  If you want me to ship them, I'll just charge you shipping.  I don't know when my next trip to Nebraska will be.

I finally found the time to drop the gas tank.  It turned out to have a lot more gas in it than I thought...  It was touching E when I parked it, but it still had at least 8 gallons in it.  It was a pain, but I dumped all that out and transferred it to my Mazda just so I could work with an empty tank. 

I did find the problem though.  The baffle was still mounted solid, no problem whatsoever there.  The fuel sock was missing though.  It's not in the tank anywhere, so I'm betting that the previous owner that was proud to have changed the fuel pump didn't bother putting a new sock on it. 

So, tonight I'll get a new sock, and I'll have to get some gas too...  I didn't think to save a gallon or two to put back into it after I reinstall it.
