Too busy last night to post photos, I should have some tonight. I went to clean out the gas tank and there was 3 gallons of 10+ year old gas in it.
The floats were still intact, though 90% varnished. The end of the fuel pickup tube was closed off and I don't think it was broken off intentionally. The neck fitting in the tank was brazed in, not threaded (is it supposed to be threaded or brazed at the tank originally?) and now I'm suspecting the nifty double tank setup was so that someone could use the truck and run it off the auxiliary tank because they couldn't/didn't know how to get the original tank repaired. That's a guess going on what the original tank pickup line looks like.
I hope the original fuel line pickup fits in the fuel sender hole, because I don't see otherwise how it's replaced after the tank is sealed.
