Since my last post, I did remove the fuel tank from the cab and installed a 19 gallon RCI fuel cell with a 220 ML walbro in tank pump set-up from Tanks Inc. This eliminated all fuel problems I had with the factory tank. I haven't made any other changes. I just drive it to car shows and events. Its not my daily driver now since I bought a 2015 High Country Chevy PU. I have driven it almost 30,000 miles since this swap and have had no problems. I drove 1200 miles in one weekend to go to the Goodguys car show in Ft. Worth last year. I'm currently building a 71 Chevelle for my wife with a 5.7 LS swap so we can go to shows together. When I finish the Chevelle, I have plans to build a 72 Chevy 1 ton wrecker on a 1991 GMC Frame that has a 17 foot roll back wrecker bed. That truck will have a 24 valve Cummins.
