Another tip:
Don't use the site search. Go to google.com, and type in this:

Most people only leave the fuel shutoff locked in the out position when they have to leave their truck parked in gear... as RLWM said, the shutoff can get stuck, but if you feel that it's necessary for your truck's safety, just be aware that it can get stuck in case it does, so you don't freak...
Several exterior shots (front, rear, both sides), good clear pictures of the dataplates in the cab that have the S/N and model # etc (use the "Macro" function on your camera for better close-up pictures), a few pictures of the cab, and a good picture or two of the 5th wheel setup.

EDIT: This statement probably isn't 100% correct. Please feel free to correct me.
You can take your broken brake line off and take it to a place like Royal Brass and Hose that make custom lines and hoses and have them make one for you. I had to do that with one of mine, and they did an excellent job. They also made all-new brake hoses for me, too.
If you're just using the torch to heat up the bolts, I'd highly recommend just using a MIG welder or the like to weld a bolt or a nut onto each screw so you can get a wrench on them and really crank down on them. There's about a 75% chance you'll have to do that anyways... Besides, the heat from...
