Hey Khan, getting ready to order some paint and I was wondering if you could tell me what your paint code/ color is for your truck? I like it and might see if they can use the paint code to mix up a batch. Looks like there were a few different whites they painted with. Also, curious if you have to JB weld a boss on the fuel tanks and run a line between the two or did just putting the one on the filler neck work for the fuel filler trick? Sorry for all the questions.

The tank mod I JB welded 3/4" hose barbs on both the fill neck and the tank. They work awesome and it's definitely worth while since your truck is stripped down.
No worries on the questions.

Thank you! I will for sure be doing this. Looks like it's a huge benefit and not huge hassle.

Let me know if you need any pictures taken for the filler necks. The biggest pain is getting the inner piece out of the fill neck.

While under the influence I ordered CNC Fabrications Stage 1 Valve springs and Manton .120 thick 3/8's push rods. Thanks @Hit Man X for constantly putting it in my head! now to get/borrow tools for measuring valve spec to shim these out to 1.800 @ 119 lbs. I'm debating shimming out to 1.790 or so to get about 124 lbs. on the springs. anyone more knowledgeable on valve springs?

Ya, I'm pretty knowledgeable on springs. 5 seat lbs isn't going to make much difference at all. When I did mine originally I tried to get about 120. The ones I have now are a little more with the different cam. Coil bind won't be an issue where you are putting them.

I'll stick with the install height of 1.800" at 119 lbs then and call it a day.
