Can anyone help me? i am thinking about doing it on thursday so i would like to get some info. thanks

If your bed has no floor, this should be ultra-easy to install. That's how I did mine... from the top and it took a couple of hours. The messiest part was cutting over from the other tank, since I had to yank the old fuel line. After I got a nice bit of gas down my arm and into my hair I decided to run the new fuel line all the way to the front anyway.

Don't forget to run a wire back with your fuel hose. You'll need it to connect your gauge.

Good luck. This is a pretty easy conversion.

The hardest part is trying to decide how you want to run your filler hose. It looks like jwill41's comes out in the wheel-well. BTW, nice job jwill41! I chose to place mine on the wall, inside the bed. Some of these old trucks came with a filler guard mounted inside for a spare tank. I snagged one from a junk yard. It protects my filler hose and has the metal snout that holds my filler cap. Came out nice. Easy access also. Someone on the board posted pics of one done in a tail light or side marker light. I have that link still (I think) if your interested.

The rest is simple. Run a wire # 12-16 for gauge, filler hose, return line for filler, supply to carb, and a return if needed.

Good Luck!

I had to add strips on each side to prevent mine from slipping through the frame.
