Re: '82 Shortbed 6.0 project

In 2003 I think ? they went to the returnless style rails on the trucks. My 2006 6.0 truck motor has a returnless style fuel rail.

returnless seems safer to me, having only one full length fuel line. but i used the vette filter/regulator, and all you need is the driver fuel rail from an 04+ truck. the passenger is (or on mine) the exact same part #. simple to swap. and a small cap to cap the vacuum port that is no longer needed. sorry for the late reply.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Re: '82 Shortbed 6.0 project

and another, of the truck itself. it is in great condition, has anyone heard of a 1/2 ton shortbed diesel? thats what it was originally (and the diesel title exempts me from emissions i believe ). it had a 350/350 when i got it tho.
