Not really no, going to use his power steering bracket and shift bracket for trans but I think that’s about it.
Holley swap pan is on now.

Pricey but beautiful part.
And needed if you don’t want your axle to hit it!
This fuel tank is yuge!
Home grown
I’m thinking it’s some old brand of aftermarket tank from the 70’s. It’s got four two foot long carriage bolts that drop down through the bed through sleeves in the tank.
There are four female threaded sleeves that screw up from underneath to suspend the tank. Pretty cool setup.
Please post the measurements of that thing. I am in the process of building my tank from 304 stainless and would love to know more about that thing.
Currently I have the bottom part welded and it is 21X29.5x8.25. The top was going to be 21x26.5x6. I stopped because I am contemplating making the bottom less than 8.25 in case I ever do slam it on bags or something. I would hate to have the tank hitting the ground.

Any first gen guys know what the deal is with these three fuel line/vent hoses that go up in the body?

I have replaced mine but if memory serves correctly one line was for returning burped or overflowed fuel back to the tank and one was a vent.
My Dad's '72 C10 had a loop of steel fuel line going up into the cab corner next to the back window. Hoses connected it to the tank and a line going to the charcoal canister. ( I am fairly certain that I remember this correctly, but..)
However I can't explain 3 lines.
The truck did have a return line from the fuel pump that went directly to the tank.

That makes sense, and what I was thinking. Just hadn’t actually traced out the lines all the way. Thank you!
