started on fuel system today pulled the bed off and removed old 5/16 return line. Installled a pair of walbro 255 pumps and ran 1/2 line with 8 guage power wire for the pair.

i used the 3/8 for the return line and used brass fittings for under bed connections . ran a 5/16 high pressure line out tank to line

started on feed lines to rails

this truck was bagged on 22s. you need to tub firewall first and will need a pretty big notch. it cut alot of frame for exhaust on both sides i recommend looking at jags that run converstion book for s10 v8s

m is gonna be bagged n 22's as well... fully shaved firewall complete custom frame being built etc. i was just wondering if you z'd your frame in the front for the 22's as well as the width from inner frame rail to inner frame rail where the engine goes. i have to bring my control arms in 1" and up 1-2" to get my front end to lay out. just trying to make sure i have enough room to fit the engine.

I second that. The brace strengthens the assembly as well as gives you a platform for the upper linkage. Brilliant!
