Various online suppliers carry them and the prices are minimal...compared to leaving them and continuing to have residue issues for ever....there is also a small length of rubber hose under the cab that you should replace..
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

Fun? Well I sort of am, but I'm quickly getting in over my head I think.
I'll look around online for a set of lines. My hoses underneath are going to be different due to the addition of saddle tanks, but I guess I can buy that by the foot and replace.
Do I need to look at hard lines from pump to carb too?
Cleaning up I can do, but if I find rust then what? I am by no means a body guy, and this is getting expensive/out of hand quickly for me and my budget.
Thanks again for the continued advice. I have the filler tube grommet on order, do I need to try to get the grommets in the floor for the hard lines. Thanks for the heads up on the PB blaster for tank bolts.
I wish you were closer, I'd pay you for some expert help in a heartbeat.
