The gas tank filler is on the PS side. What's the design theory on that?

Thanks guys, The filler neck on the passenger side is a result of the gas tank being backwards to reach the hardlines. Yeah it'll piss me off i'm sure <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Great gas tank lift. Clever to turn it 180*... amazing how different yours and Mitsulvr's chops are (I finally got to oggle "BetsyIII" on Saturday). And both are awesome! So you're leaving yours open, or bikini top of some sort?
2.4 from the pickup?

Yup, pickup 2.4, i'm just waiting on the new flexplate bolts to come in the mail to do the swap. I will be adding 8 more inches to the back wall to be level with the flatbed and a bikini top. I need about 20 more feet of 2x2 tubing to finish the flatbed and 3 link x member, this thing is gonna flex <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> you should see the monster shocks for it.

That looks really cool. I have just one question...where did you get all the brown stuff on the bed box? I thought that wasn't available in AZ... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I would likely have wasted a bunch of time rerouting them- for no real good reason in the end... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Nice work Adam! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I can't wait to see it in person. BTW, anyone with a US Gen 3 knows how much of a PITA filling up on the passenger side can be... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

I thought that wasn't available in AZ... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It's not heavy rust just a light glaze, but to give you an idea the bare steel was sitting in a friends backyard for a few years. I knew someone was gonna say something about that or the truck's rust (from Utah) don't they make special paints for rusty things? i'd like to paint my frame and stop the rust, Rust Bullet?
