Okay, in an effort to keep my new threads to a minimum, I will be posting everything related to this truck here. I am doing this as a service to the FTF community; perhaps I can keep the forum a little cleaner.


I bought some fuel line today, only to learn that the line going out of the tank had another inside of it. (Didn't think about air ventilation) So, the front tank's inner line got sacrificed so that I could have a working solution for putting fuel in the rear.

What you see below isn't the final product; I'm going to shorten the pipe by half and repeat on the front tank. This will be a nice temporary solution until I put the bed back on.

Austin if I'm not mistaking the smaller inside line is for venting purposes I had o put one back on my 88 when I had gas leaking from the hose and filler neck.

Yes, the inner one is for ventilation to help the flow be continuous. Pretty much everyone removes them, converts their factory vent-lines to huge and wallows out the metal piece that screws to the bed just inside the fuel door. All this so they can fuel up at a truckstop and be done in 60 seconds.

Hmm. No truck stops near me, so I'll just keep it stock.

I'd vote it down.

On a serious note, I'm really liking not having a bed. I'm ready to throw some chrome fenders and find a cab tank and install a 5th wheel hitch... BAM, instant semi truck.
