Got the fuel lines ran and secured. Just need to clean tank and lines out before filling tank up. Pump hotwire needs to be ran down frame rail also, but new relay/wirinf is done. Awaiting on backing plate spacers (didn't want to use nuts and washers like Atomic's swap) to be made at machine shop for 14 bolt swap and axle flanges to be turned down 1/4". Autometer's support sucks, I had to buy 2 #3262 senders (needed extra insulated bulkhead post) to work the way I wanted it to with the factory fuel gauge and no grounding issues.

Got home and did a quick frame clean up (razor blades on fact coating and wire brush for the rest). Laid some rattle can coating and put the truck back together for now.
1fastbrick, I got the spacers back for the 14 bolt, but the machine shop forgot to machine the counterbore to fit over the stock position location rings
So back to the machine shop they went.
Truck drives great now with the McGauphys 2/4 drop and QA1's all the way around, also the extra weight over the *** end definately makes a difference. Even under stock power this truck is more fun. Only downfall is the Autometer fuel level sender needs to be rebent to better reflect the tanks downward slope, as if theres 9 gallons in the tank it show E and 22gallons shows full on the stock gauge.
