So all "Northwest" did was make a tank (U know where it sat?) & 3 position under-seat switch-over valve (which wuz a conduit for 2 or 3 fuel lines to the engine? It musta replaced the OE two position?). Still luv 2 C where the line ran…
Luv 2C a pic of the tank Tim…

No wonder the 22 (& lrgr gal.) tanks came out (Sherman, etc).

I continue my archeology on this aftermrkt option to the Norwest. Seems more prevelent up there than rest'o the country.

Thank you both!

Got all the parts to replace basically from under the seats forward, only a couple things not being replaced. The windshield frame and the firewall piece right below the windshield frame. I even got new seats.

Here's what it looked like on the way to the body shop.

I bought a frame a while back when I was going to build a Bronco chassis with a 4BT from the ground up. It was about 1/4" out of square when I started but when I cut the front cross member (on One side) it sprang even further out of square. I tried at the time to square it up but managed to put a twist in it.

Now I decided to try again and truing it up and then use it as jig if you will to rebuild my Bronco tub. Depending on the shape of my original frame I may end up using this frame for the final project.

Here are a couple of photos of my attempt to straighten the frame. I'm not done yet but I have the twist out of it. Now I just need to weld the cross member and make sure I can keep both the twist and diamond out of it.

Well Roy I was a little worried about getting hurt I gotta tell ya. The whole process seemed a little scary with the 2" pipe and a cable come along pulling off of the bottom of my tool box. I was making very slow and precise moments, at the same time always thinking if something broke which direction would things fly.

Without having the proper tools and equipment to measure it. I think I have it very close.
