i can't help you with this stuff, unfortunately...  my own 1010 has become a
candidate for total restoration in the years it's been sitting in the
driveway and now i need s few things for it myself.  i do know that several
models of non-removeable-faceplate JVC cassette decks fit in the dash hole
with no modification (that's what mine has).  i'd like some of those
clearance lights for the 1110 4x4, too.  mine has some kind of a black and
white tweed-like seat cover over the original sun-damaged upholstery, but i
don't know where it came from, as it was in there when i got it.  WalMart
sells one that looks an awful lot like mine, could be what mine is.

absolutely.  in fact, this is the only way to access that tank.  it's held
to the inside of the outer fender with steel straps.  the bolts for those
are somewhat adventuresome to get out, as are some of the tank fittings
(various small hoses and fuel lines), but it's not a major endeavour, in my
opinion.  where the spare tire cover only has those two fasteners at the
top, the tank cover has the screws all the way around that you will have to
remove.  getting the cover off after all the screws are out can be slightly
troublesome, and getting it back on more so (mine is quite difficult, but
the sheet metal is a little tweaked up), but again, not a super incredible
nightmare.

i don't know, i never tried.  maybe?  when the sun comes up i'll go out
there and have a look.  see if anything looks like it'll come out.

maybe one of the other Digesters has tried to do this.  i think i'd like to
know too, as my 1110 has some junk in there that could probably do with
being cleaned out.  anybody else know?
