Replace fusable link with inline fuse?
Can the 18 gauge fuse link thats in the power wire witch goes to the key switch,fuel pump ect. be replaced with a in-line fuse? Or should I fine me another fuse link? If so, what amp fuse to start with without risking damage?

Fuses values that equal fusible links is a big debate that nobody can seem to agree on. If you want to try a fuse, it's going to have to be a maxi fuse(big). I would just replace the fusible link with another one.
They really give no trouble, and are a last ditch device to keep the truck from burning down when someone does something dumb and shorts the wiring out, or someone re-routes the wiring and it gets damaged, or to protect the wiring after an accident.
