I will also pull the gas tank for paint. I want it painted all around the tank and i need to get the sand out from behind it.
If the tank is completely empty its a simple job. I never knew that until recently, usually they have a few gallons in them and that really complicates things, the weight and sloshing around makes it very awkward.

Someone cut the fuel line under the cab, it has about a foot of rubber line instead of a Few inches, i found a new stainless line and a nice used one in my parts pile so that will be much better with less rubber hose.
