Should see the following in the next week and a half:

Flywheel and bolts
Tank sender
Exhaust gaskets
20’ of braided AN -6


Need some exhaust 45s and 2.5” pipe. As BA as it sounds dumping in front of tank #3, I want it out from under the bed
Steel for skidder
Tube for fill and some sheet metal to cover where it traverses the bed
Time
 
You are keeping your saddle tanks then? Are you going to just transfer fuel from them to the new rear tank, or have all three set up to feed your injection?

Ive tried the switch and it failed. Two actually. I’m debating on keeping one saddle, but I’m leaning towards just the 31 out back

Originally I wanted to do some 4-5 day adventure trails. Not sure
 
I love what you are doing with your truck. Multiple tanks would be nice for the extra range, but the simplicity of a single tank/pump sounds like a win to me.

Plenty of room to mount spare gas cans to extend your range in that long bed.

Both of my saddle tanks work (I'm still running a carb and an old school diaphragm fuel pump) but i almost never fill them both up at once, a single tank would probably be a very nice upgrade for me.

Thanks really appreciate that

The hot dog shape of the tank caused me some complications last year. The pumps are in the tank, but nose high a couple times it quit running. @mrk5 had lesser issues with the baffling, but still had to swap tanks in some unreasonable spots

I might drop the tank out for now. I can add it back later for s mice safe way to carry fuel. The driver is set up as a transfer only right now

In terms of the carb, this truck never saw trail duty with the carb. I did run the K5 with a modified Qjet in some nasty places including Pritchett Canyon and Independence trail in Penrose CO. After Pritchett was when I abandoned it

That's a good idea, especially if you had a clean way built in to hook/unhook your fuel lines and wiring harness easily. Filling two tanks from the same side of the truck would be a handy feature too.

Yeah I’m really debating at this point to weld a bing on the new tank with a NPT. Then I can take a plug, or swap in an AN fitting later. Think I should pull the driver tank out and fill both on the passenger side. Always seems easier to get to the pump on the passenger side. Then I could still use the saddle tank on that side if needed, filling both fromone string at the pump. Like it should be
 
I’d only need it for long back country runs. 31 gallons is a very useful size
 
Yeah probably have stuff in it I don’t want to smell like gas
