Yikes!! Glad you found that! Hey did I build a sump for your tank? I want to say I did. When are you brining that truck down to Texas?

There is a small sump, maybe an inch deep. Shallow enough that when you take a turn with 1/4 tank or less, it starves the pumps momentarily.

-20x13 for the rear
-20x10 up front

The tires that I want to run are the Micheline PSS 345/30ZR20 but they are only 28" tall so I'm still looking for something taller.

Yeah, we built a sump for it and like Jake said it's about an inch deep which is good. Only problem is the baffles we made were just way too short. But that's ok, I've never designed a fuel tank before so next time I'll know to do that. Other than that the fuel tank has been working great!!
As far as texas...not sure. I'll be out there for sure next spring but between then and now I don't know. I have to buy an enclosed car hauler first. I'm not gonna drive this truck that far, no HVAC or radio anymore!

And here are some HD axles that Joseph gave me in the deal. Apparently these axles come with bigger rotors on them so he turned them down on the lathe so the hats on the rear disks will fit.

I dropped the rear-end at a buddies house and will hopefully be picking it up on Saturday with the guts installed. Going with 3.42 gears.

Two ways
1) Get some taller tires that the 27" I have on there currently
2) I plan on shifting into O.D.



Yeah Joseph!! Why doesn't Wolverine re-locate to Texas??
