Nice work on the pump bracket. When I converted my '84 pickup to efi I went with a new tank (made in Canada), but my 4runner donor vehicle had a different pump bracket to match the differently shaped tank. I had to pay around $112.00 for the new bracket, but they use the same pumps so nothing extra for that. I was worried about the tank and corrosion, but it seems that they finished mine with some kind of plating that is similar to galvanizing. I coated the thing with spray-on rubberized undercoating for an extra measure of protection. I'm pretty sure it's gonna outlive my truck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> -- Matt

Gas eats rubber undercoat pretty quick, so watch for fuel leaks.

That is one cleeeeeeean build. Looks great, i'd love to do a frame up build someday. I think a t-case e-brake may have saved some time and maybe headaches as well dealing with the discs on the rear. Love the build and great work. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

thanks ..
I'm not one to "buy off the shelf" .. I like to be just a little different , and with all the rear discs out there , I just wanted to show something different . I'm glad I did the emergancy brake the way I did , It's a "1 off " .. and will work for years to come .

Very understandable, I like to build my parts as well.
