Other parts will be ordered closer to the time we will need them or after the truck is “done” and I can install them back at my shop.
We pulled the doors, heater, wiper motor, brake booster and master, and repaired rusted spot around heater. Working on painting brake booster and master.
Will tear doors completely down and bring the wing windows back here to clean off corrosion and/or replace parts and rubber seals.
Next week, we should make good progress on installing the pop-up gas cap and rear mounted gas tank. We should be able to mount the pop-up cap on the back corner of the bed rail; bring the fill tube down the inside of the bed side, which will be closed in with an "L" shaped door.
We can then route the fill tube through the gap between the rear frame rail and the bottom of the bed. Seems there is about 3" +/- of space there. We can secure the fill tube with rubber encased clamps bolted to the frame.
The last thing to fab, is making a 90° elbow for the neck on the tank, allowing us to bring the fill tube in from the back of the tank and not the side. There is a remote chance that the neck will be just fine and will line up with the gap between the frame and bottom of the bed. I should know more after my next 180 mile trip.
