I've already bought one to use as a temporary tank with the hopes of finding a suitable used tank

Here's a good one the upper ball joint has been welded to the control arm. That's a no-no!

A common problem with the threaded upper control arms since the threads are so minimal and often strip. The weld makes sure it doesn't go anywhere. Common issue and common solution!

Years of jacking put its toll on it so cut and welded a new plate. Now ready for powder coating.

Control arm/BJ issue is also commonly caused by people who assume they are pressed in and press them out.

They DID change to press in BJ's but IIRC it was during the 74 model year.

And mines a 74. So there you go.

So this new addition to the garage, a rotisserie, ought to make things a bit more comfortable.
