On the fuel hoses I would just see about getting some new metal lines to run from the driver side (assuming you have the passenger side already there) and just use fuel rubber hoses for connections to non-flare connections. On the valve I would not trust a used one. Get a new from from the dealer or J.C. Whitney. I got mine for $80? from a wholesaler of AC delco parts. TO make it easier you should get a one wire hookup valve. Does your truck already have the switch on the dash? Of not let me know and I can help you on that as well. On the filler lines and vents try http://www.lmctruck.com or http://www.chevyduty.com both give free catalongs and Chevy Duty has some items online.

Lightbulb selector

the one wire one on my truck acts like a nitros selonoid. when the wire is hot it selects one inlet, when no power is to it it retracts and selects the other inlet. guess one tank need to be a aux tank as not to keep the selector hot all the time. I bench tested mine with a battery and some jumper cables.
