1/2 ton status
I just had mine done cause it broke down on me driving to work. Anyways, the tech that figured it out (had an invoice from PO from 3 months ago stating R&R fuel tank and clean) not exactly! Tech said back in the day the tanks were recalled due to the internal baffle would break loose, smash the pick-up/pump and would not work with less then half a tank of fuel. Said they had pallets of tanks at the dealer for warranty R&R. I pulled my plugs and had red on them too, just seeing 63chevyII's post its all making sense!!!
As for the camping hunting angle; Found some good roof racks on Craigslist pretty cheap, just need to figure out a roof mount. I have a portable, self contained propane shower from Bass Pro,,, have not used it yet but looks pretty functional, get you the make when I'm home. I was thinking a telescoping pole off the rack out the back parallel with the ground. Throw a removeable snatch block pulley on the end, run the winch cable through it and there is your game hoist. All gets collapsed down and low profile. Couple lights on the rack giving you night time cleaning(cause you know it will be well after dark!)
How about an inverter mounted inside the side panel, you could have 12volt or 110 watts back there for whatever? Would you do Jerry cans on the bumper or on a swing out tire rack? I like the pivot idea, just need to make a bumper. I was thinking reciever built in, couple of clevis/tow points, some LED reverse lights, spare tire on a swing out mount centered on rear, CB antena mount, hi-lift on there or the rack, two 2 1/2 gallons jerry cans to ease the weight...
I put a police car center console in mine and am thinking of running a shotgun lock system like the cars, off of the rack parallel to the floor behind the front seats. Can even put in a universal rifle lock on it too for a second gun just for good measure. Keeps em locked up, out of sight and readily available at the push of a hidden button/flip of a toggle switch.?

Might want to invest in some locking gas caps
