No, the 80 and older ones are different. They have a single post style connector coming out of them and use a different style switch.

OK, does anybody have any of these parts? I konw my truck doesn't have a switch, at least not one on the dash, and I don't know if it still has the selector valve but it is a dual tank truck. If anybody has these parts to fit a 73 then I'd be interested.

Hey Ben.. I know this is off the subject. But I went to your home page to check out the nice ride that is in your heading, but it was not there? Is this your vehecle... or is it someone elses identity that you are using? Either way, the red and white truck that is pictured is VERY NICE.

lol, you don't know how many times I've been over this and I get a kick out of it every time. The pic in my avatar is what I WANT my truck to look like when it is completed. The pic was actually an original pic of SCOTI's 74 and with his permission I photochopped it and altered the colors to what I want mine to look like. I hope my truck looks that nice when its completed. If you want more info on the original truck then PM SCOTI.

Yah, I'm still trying to decide if I want to stick w/a single tank setup, but since my chassis was setup for dual tanks and has most of the lines and stuff, plus my bed has fuel hoes on both sides, so I'm not sure what I want to do yet.

Does anybody know if I would be able to put the dual setup from the 83 on my 73? What problems would I have? I have all the lines for it on my chassis, and the 2nd tank but I don't think my cab has any of the wiring cuz I haven't been able to find a switch, any ideas?

PM sent.
