I need to replace the fuel line that goes from the tank to the filter but gm only sells the entire fuel system. itll be nice having all brand new lines.

That's explains why I saw what I thought was the same factory frame on the local Craigslist. At least I think I did...

Re: 1972 c10 om 2001 tahoe 4x4 chassis
Per that body mount nut, if that idea doesn't pan out I see a hole on the bottom of the frame that could be hogged open a bit and reinforced if necessary, you could possibly weld it thru the bottom or just use a socket and extension?
