Mild restoration build to use as a truck should be used.
I can't even get my fat arm up in there to cut them. Maybe I just need an extra elbow.

Answer your text! Are you working?
Lol, our system has been down most of the day. I probably should have gone home, but like an idiot i'm still here.
Tape some extensions on the handles of your cutters. If it's like my crew cab, the ends of the hard lines are right above the frame. Maybe you could reach up there and get the clamps off. Which side are you dropping?
Started with the drivers. That's where the switch was pointed to, so I figured that one was running last. I'm not 100% sure that the tank solenoid works between the 2.
Once you unbolt it from the frame, it should drop enough to get your arms in there from the back.
Yeah, you should be able to tilt the tank down on one end.
Just pull the bed!
The bolts are probably not rusty, right?

What sucks is the sender ends up being centered on the gap between cab and bed so you can't even cut an access hole in the bed floor.
I'm scared to even try one of those bolts lol.Just pull the bed!

Yeah I saw that, and with that bed, I wouldn't even hesitate to hack that thing.
Old crusty tank is out. Going to pull the brackets off and paint them, along with the frame section behind the tank while it’s open. @mrk5’s idea to cut the lines made it a little easier, just going to suck trying to put them back on later.

Eastbound and Down
Flatbed that was talked about earlier would kinda be ideal eh?
My same thoughts.
Yeah I just do longer hoses and make a loop so the tank goes up and down real easy.
Ooooo, I like the loop idea!
Lol and I just saw this one. That would surely kill me to death.

Getting closer. Broke the bolt off my other strap, so the ratchet strap holds on for now. Grabbing a sending unit from work tomorrow and new fuel line along with a new strap. Then finish up after work or Saturday morning.
Looks shiny.
