Gas tank replacement
I'm replacing the two tanks on a 1979 F350 4x4 with one rear mounted 38 gallon
tank. What can I safely bypass? It has two charcoal canisters and the switching valve. I assume I run the fuel line from the new tank to the fuel pump bypassing the switch. And then can I remove the extra charcoal canister. Am I correct or have I missed something. Thanks....

bypass or remove the switch, you will not need the extra canister, since it doesn't have a tank to connect too. big tanks are nice, i have one on my company truck. it is 38 gallon, and i drive it all over the area.

Spare usually mounted under the rear tank. There's a mount bar that the spare sits on, and is screwed to, that connects to two bolts that are dropped from the frame diagonally across the tank. I'd send a picture, but I don't have any of the spare tire bar, currently. When I unwrap everything from the powdercoater, I'll try to take a shot of it.
