Re: stock tank?

You can absolutely use the stock in cab tank. All you have to do is add a return line to your sender, which isn't all that hard. There are pics of mine in my build thread in my sig, the blue '72. If you decide to put the tank under the bed, don't do one of those ultra trick behind the tail light fuel fillers, I did on my orange truck and was horribly dissapointed with it. It worked, but was an extreme PITA to fill! But I don't like the looks of fuel filler doors in the bed and inside the bed isn't any better because you have to open the tailgate and then drag the hose across it. That's why I kept the incab tank on my green truck (also in my sig), but like Kainedogg said, it's better to have a sumped tank to avoid fuel starvation problems when the level gets low, so I sumped it. Works great, but definitley not the easiest way of doing it.
