Thanks much
you will have to use 16 gal tanks (SWB), 20 gal (LWB) will not fit, it can all be done in a day if you have everything lined up. the drive shaft would be the only issue, most have there cut done. On mine I went from 1ton to half ton so I need'd a new shaft. I discover'd that front half from a late '80 Suburban and a mid '80's Delta 88 work out to be the perfect length .
