Dropping Gas Tank on my 83 1-ton (SRW) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 83 Chevy 1-ton (SRW) gas gage is acting like the float is bad. I've made a deal with a good friend of mine to trade the truck for his camper trailer and part of the deal was I was going to fix the gas gage, and do a few other little things to the truck. He's going to use it to tow his 25ft camper trailer.

Anyways, the truck has a huge saddle tank on the driver side. I've got it unbolted from the frame and am working on disconnecting the fuel lines. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks to get the tank out without using too many swear words. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
