I just went through fixing the dual tanks on my 83. Had to replace the selector valve and replace all the lines, vents, etc. I think they changed up the senders for 85 through 88 dual tank trucks so they may be different that the first year trucks too.

I have an 83 XLT Diesel dual tank. My tanks are in great shape, but if that truck has a working fuel selector switch/valve and the sending units out of both tanks I'd certainly be interested. Only 83/84 had the senders without the pump in tank so they're specific to those two model years and...

I didn't even notice the wheels until you mentioned it. Looks like those were snatched off a 97 or later. Any suggestions for sourcing some stock year wheels? Looking at the brochure for the first year this would have been the options outside of steelies. Not sure which ones I'd want to go...
