I did my tank in a weekend, but leaving the old one intact is a great idea. I welded a patch over the hole, took the old tank out and put some shelving in there.out of jcw I think.The sending unit was the same resistance, so I didn't have to fool with it. I am not sure about the flip down license plate, I think the plate location in the bumper is too low to fill from. Some one used the tail light and posted it on the board, you can search to find it. More then a weekend job I think. With my stepside, I just cut a hole in the fender. Toughst part ? Filling the hole in the cab, the actual tank switch is easy.
