Things I need are: fuel sending unit for the front tank. A new back gas tank, The wheel cover for the pass side, The drivers side is there. Im sure there are other little items.
Not 100% what class this is.

Thanks

You could also check on Craigslist for RV parts, someone is always parting out some kind of RV, Motorhome, Trailer, Camper, etc.

Imder,

What your link points to is not a wheel cover. It maybe called either a wheel well skirt or wheel well trim (choice ot the guy that wrote the parts list).

I think you just might be Second On Line (SOL) for the last one. Those were vehicle/builder specific.

Outside of Colaws or other RV salvage, your only other hope would be to get a fiberglass guy to make a mold from the one you do have and make you one for the other side. This won't be cheap.

My 1983 Jamboree is built on a Ford E350 cutaway and it has a single tank. Maybe you want to try and track down a 1983 E350 in the local boneyard and snag the large tank complete with sender.

There were lots of two-tank E-Series in those years. Should be some parts availability used and probably new. There are also aftermarket Tank Select Valves for around $100. Simple as a gOOgle search will probably turn some leads.

Wheel covers, 16.5"... When we bought our 1984 Class C/E350, it had three Hub Caps. They weren't simulators and they didn't bolt in place. Just old timey bang-in covers. I recycled the three and painted the wheels.

E-Series didn't stay with the 2-tank setup all the way to the end of the years they produced the design. 1975-91 as I recall. You may be able to replace the current rear tank with a bigger late model tank and be done with it. That's given the coach builder didn't block it in with holding tanks etc. and you can make or access adequate mounting points.

This is the part I need. I thought it was called a wheel cover, but Im not sure. I think its plastic and covers both wheels.

Imder,

If you mean if it is a Class C, then yes, that is what is it.

It appears to be a Ford E-350 van cut-away, and that may get you to a right part number for the fuel sender. If the gage switches with the tanks select (a common option in Ford vans of the period, then you may find a tank from an Econoline of the period.

As for wheel covers, anybody's bet. Look for a period van or send a picture to Colaw's.

Good Luck Guy
