May get some hate for this, but whatever. Sourcing the correct hard fuel lines has been a battle, bending others have just frustrated me. 10an/6an steel braided PTFE is what im going to use, all the way from the tank, minus the terminated sections at the tank and diesel fuel filter assembly...

Gotcha! 79 does make way more sense for a farm truck! Very cool! Good luck with the new property!

Wow!! Thats awesome, any big reason he was selling? If that's private no big deal, just curious.

Working on the clutch stuff today, seriously if you decide to do any project buy a thread chaser kit on amazon, cheap and they work.

H152f swap kit, back40imports, comes with pretty much everything except the clutch hard lines. Also has the correct input shaft for the FTE ready to go.
