I didn't realize the 4l80 took all the fluid. It shifts now. Few other odds and ends and were good to go

Nice. I’m ready to go, on the 19th
Tore into the fuel leak and my compression fitting some how got bent and the bushing would not seal. So this fitting is junk now. New one on order. 
New fitting showed up, you can really see the difference in the bad fitting VS the new one. Got the new one installed, I'll reinstall the tank tomorrow 
Well fuel system still leaks. My rear pinion angle is horrible, that needs to be fixed asap. I have two degree shims on the back of the leaf pack ill put in the front and if that doesn't fix it my buddy can help me weld on new perches and correct the angle. But the truck looks good. 
I wanted to change the weather stripping on my kick panel vent and I pulled. Them both out and the rubber flappers were pretty beat, I deiced to order the new flaps from Lmc, hopefully they show up before Xmas 
. I am having a friend fix the fuel tank pick up fittings for me.

It’s nice they still have rubber on them. Mine were completely shot.I deiced to work on the kick panel vents and I pulled the panels out and I deiced to order the new flaps from Lmc, hopefully they show up before Xmas
They have rubber but they don't seal and water likes to flow in to the cab. I'm also going to re seal the seam in the cowling for good measure.

Be a good idea. Mine leak right through, but I don’t think it the flaps. I had the fender off at one point and sealed all I could see, but the water still comes in? Lol
I have the same issue, I can't figure out why it leaks the way it does.
Why my truck has no carpet or floor mat

The only thing I can think of is the windshield, in that corner. I took out my windows to fix any rust, and put in new seals, and I believe I might of pushed that side in to far. I’ll have to take it out again and fixe that, but not any time soon. Lol it’s covered until I take it out, so not to drastic to do it.
I even changed the windshield gasket and back filled it with urathane. It's annoying for sure. What about putting a suction cup on the glass and pulling it over.
The cowl is the biggest spot for leaks. Gotta re do the seam sealer in there.
Thats the plan
My new fuel sending unit with ends put on from www.hotrodfuelhose.com came in tonight. Hopefully sat I can get it installed. I also need to put my cross member inside the frame from underneath it and hopefully that will help my drive shaft angle. 
On Sunday I rebuilt my vent flaps with new gaskets and flaps from Lmc and installed an new windshield wiper motor
@cheavyk10 helped me out on Saturday we put the engine crossmember inside the frame rails and it improved my rear driveshaft angle and shims have been orderd. But I now need to grind the ears off my front drive shaft double u joint so it won't bind. The we changed out the fuel sending unit and it and does not leak any more! We took the truck for a quick test drive and it seems to drive better, I'll know more once the shims are installed. But I'm close to having it driveable.
So I have an electrical draw and it killed my battery, im not sure where to even start with this, I don't have a stereo hooked up but I do have some LS swap specific accessories that are in my fuse block, but hooked to ignition only, can I test fuses with the ignition off as a starting point? any help or suggestions please.

If your trying to get it done, without spending a ton of time, on chasing that draw, you could put in a battery switch. That way, you could troubleshoot a little at a time while your using your truck. I have a very slight draw, but I’ll drive my truck around once a week, so it doesn’t effect much. But if it was a stronger draw, I’d put a switch in.
