1972 C10 Gas Tank Replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for any advice on replacing a gas tank for a 1972 C10. How hard of a job is this? Are there any tricks to make it easier?

Access to the bolts holding the tank seems good. I’m a little worried about how hard it will be to wiggle the tank past the hard lines that run to the sender without damaging anything?

Also a little worried about the filler neck grommet. How does this get removed?

He ordered a tank made by Spectra (GM49B) for 1972 with EEC has anyone used this tank before? If so did you have any issues getting everything to line up?
