Yep, I took it down to the local locksmith and for $20 he matched the keys. I need to head backdown there to see if he can get a key for my rear door. I have 3 sets of doors with no keys.

Please be careful.

so, I got to thinking and wonder if this will work?
if you ran both leads from the sending units on 2 different tanks (your main and the auxillary) to a 2 position turn knob and then from said turn knob on to the post on the after market gas gauge on my dash that is currently setup to read just the main tank, could you not then turn the knob and switch between readings from 2 tanks? NOTE: both tanks would use the same brand/style sending unit made to work with the same style/brand gague on my dash so perfect compatability.
BTW, I know there are cool systems mentioned that with the flip of 1 switch can change tanks and use 1 gas gauge.. but you can see I already have a menchanical handle in place for selecting bewteen my 2 tanks and this setup I purpose, if possible, would only require a $4.00 turn knob.
can anyone with better wiring knowledge confirm if it is infact as simple as adding a turn knob between the gauge and both sending units to make it possible to flip flop between 2 tanks on 1 gauge?
if it is possible.. what type of turn knob configuration do you need? (i.e., SPDT - single pull double throw)
Ok,final installment to finish this off.
Got it boiled and lined very affordablly ($125 total). the lining is some kind of rubbery feeling, blood red material. turned out awesome. I then sanded it up outside, primed it and painted it black. the sending unit (JC Whitney 124229 FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WITH FLOAT) went in with only a small glitch (the pattern for the holes did not line up with the actual holes on the sending unit lip, so I redrillled new hole son the lip rather than the tank and just filled in the old holes with JB Weld on the lip). Used black RTV to make the seal. even built new 12.5" long bolts to hold the tank in place as the old ones were bent and rusted.
sweeet!
... three port for carb...

Use this tank switch - it works great!
POLLAK® ELECTRIC FUEL TANK SELECTOR VALVES - JCWhitney Truck Parts
I use the Pollak Light Truck 6-Port Motor Driven Valve setup and it is a great system. it switches fuel level senders and will turn one fuel pump on/off. It is only powered when switching from one tank to the other tank. Then it turns off. There is no power required to keep it in one position, unlike a solenoid valve which requires constant power to maintain flow from one tank.
