In the fuel tank.

Yup, and it kind of a pain dropping the tank. Make sure you can get most of the fuel out first.

Once the tank is down, some guys cut a flap or door in the sheetmetal above the sender/pump so that next time around you don't hafta drop the tank.

I found that an ATV or tranny jack under the tank makes dropping it manageable.

This is a pickup truck instead of a K5, but its similar, and the hole cutting will be about the same, just probably in a different place.........

And being in California you either have someone to smog it for you, it's a dedicated offroad rig, or you plan on swapping engines every two years to pass emissions testing?
