The pump is about the only useful part off an SD, everything else has to be sourced aftermarket. Make sure to get the bracket and wiring pigtail, with about 4" of the truck side harness if possible.

Can't use the fuel bowl or any fuel lines? Thought more could be used.

Thanks for the link King. The guy hasn't called me back yet so may not happen. I guess if it does, I will try to get everything I can. Is there any inertia safety switches or other things like that also?

Why though? The SD stock fuel system isn't any better than an OBS, in fact I'd say it worse because it's a dead head system. To each their own though.

For the regulater.... look up the TightWad Mod.

I just did this and it saved me $150+

Works fine, saves you money.
