Re: Calling everybody that has switched out a gas tank on a 73-87

Sometime the lines on the left tank are long enough to allow the tank to drop down enough to make it easier to work with. If they have never been replaced they will hard as a rock and need to be replaced anyway so just cut them, unhook the ground from the frame and then unhook the sending unit wires. Replace the lines with some a little longer and be careful not to kink them when reinstalling. Also make sure it's as close to empty as possible.
Be sure to remove the two brackets that bolt to the frame with the tank, then you can remove the straps and swap tanks.
