So, I wound up not having to escort kids, so rock on. Got out there and got all the vent lines figgered out again and hooked up and replaced, then got the tank in to position and clamped back in. Then , I got the fuel pump wiring sorted and loomed and run to the front of the truck. I saved the fun stuff for last. Bahahahahah! That was my first mistake. I decided to kick in some extra to make sure we didn't make the nylon lines too short... well, they can be too long. I wound up kinking the big one and outright split the smaller, older, more brittle one. One of those deals where it's gooood.....just a touch more to clear the fitting...... SNAP! Thankfully, Eric was bored at the thursday night cruise in, and buzzed over to see what was up. I did the boiling water trick on the big one to put some curves in it and take up a bit of room, you can do a 45 deg pretty good. Found another squiggly piece of small stuff and just started cutting till it got right, then we ran over to Eric's and smonched them again. Got back, snap snap, success!

Ran into Joesjunk at the gas station in another gorgeous stock truck, an 87 longbed. Hoo-wee nice! Also got the quick speedo tutorial, and between that and the advice/pics from Mcbassin (thanks Mike!) hopefully that'll go ok.

Oh, and I got the stickers for the cluster, after forgetting the last three times I was over there.
That's all the news that's fit to print, back to you in the newsroom.
