Well, I decided to leave the bed on, and I suppose it was lot more work to do that. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I looked at the bolts/nuts holding the bed on, and they looked like they weren't going to come off without a FIGHT either. It was sure a battle to drop the tank. Two steps forward, one-and-a-half back the whole way, it seemed. But, it's done (off, not back on yet).

the two brake lines don't look too bad, but I'm going to replace them anyway. I don't want to be wandering about their condition several years down the road. $55/line (YIKES).

To replace the gas line going to the fuel filter = $130'ish (Double yikes!). It must have gold in it or sumthin'.

The sending unit is $200. After I ordered it I found a couple of them on evilbay for $125-$150 (with the pump too). Oh well, I'll stick with the new one that I'll be getting tomorrow.
