**69Tom** · 05-17-2021, 05:26 PM

So while I'm on the subject, just confirming other things I need:

16 gal fuel tank
parking brake cables (super excited to replace these - always a good time)
front to rear hard brake line
drive shaft shortened (is it going to be 14" or will it vary a bit from that due to change in angle?)

When putting in a new tank, I'm just going to replace the sending unit as they tend to start not working great after 45 years.

I'll also replace all rubber fuel lines, rear cab mounts, rear shocks (to match my new front Bilsteins I just put on) while I have the bed off.

Anything else I'm missing?
