Needed some minor alterations after test fitting. The trailer plug wires extend past the edge of the frame and was bring pinched by the tank.
A recess was added to give room for the wiring.

Filler neck altered to fit. Now to find a hose to fit the angle.
 
Had to switch rocker arms to use short valve covers. The tall covers were getting in the way of AC Compressor hoses.

Figuring....
Installed in-tank fuel pump in rear tank to run truck. Will use inside tank as reserve to be pumped into rear tank as needed. Will have gauges in both tanks and a switch to change which tank it reads from as well as a switch to pump on to transfer. Working out brackets and locations to include stainless steel lines to the engine compartment.

Found this awesome Toyota part to help with the direction of the Speedo cable with the speed sensor. The short cable extension is no longer available from Toyota and wasn't the best solution as I had gone through 2 of them in 20 years. This redirects up and keeps sensor from hanging so low and keeps speedo cable away from the exhaust. It wasn't cheap, but neither are cables.

Getting closer, I need to get the windshield back on so I can get the AC/Heater mounted and finish wiring. I had to make some adjustments to the linkage as you see the droop of the middle and right hand wiper.
Working on gas lines so when I get the tank back from powder coat I can connect everything. I got the clamps all mounted after Dad helped me bend all the lines.

It mirrors the confer tank. Dad made it.
It sits higher since I have a body lift. Back is flush with the frame where it tapers up. We made the straps shorter than the confer ones. Axle is in stock location. May look lower since I took the pictures up on the lift.
 
Center Console wired, powder coated and ready to install.
