Re: Calling everybody that has switched out a gas tank on a 73-87
I just did my 83 and for me I lifted the bed with a block of wood and a floor jack. I also had to drop the tank. You can do it with just dropping the tank, but I had a very hard time getting the fuel lines back onto the tank pickup with the bed in place. At least on mine, you cannot get the tank pickup out without dropping the tank. The cab corner is in the way. It wasn't difficult, just kind of a pain. Make sure you tank the tank group out before you drop it. I had to solder mine back on because I broke the ground wire off before I realized it wasn't unbolted.
