Just drain the tank thru the sender unit hole with a flex hose...spray the back of the lower tank bolts with PB Blaster to make them easier to remove...
Then gently pull the lines out of the way as you and a friend lift out the tank...
Clean out the junk and dirt, paint the back wall of the cab in bed liner black...after checking the corners for rust...and yes there will be rust...
Replace the body seal for the filler tube,,,use liquid soap to slip the filler tube in easily when re-assembling...
Have fun young man

Aussie what do you think about all this. And PLEASE don't think for a second that I am doubting your advice at all. But I think I get what dmjlambert is saying as well.
Would it be a huge mistake to leave the old lines for now? I'd have a new sending unit (new filter sock), an inline canister filter, and the filter in the carb.
I want it right, and really don't want to put a new carb on without a clean fuel system. Just wondering if you had any further thoughts. Or if anyone does for that matter. I am all ears, and want to do the right thing.
