Ackevor, I'm glad the itemized list has been useful. If you'de like, let me know if I have the measurements [which I marked with a ***] correct. Then I can update my original...
Updated my post thanks to your expert advice.
How would you suggest I proceed?
- use my amateur mig-welding skills to fill in the holes (the holes I made are just big enough for a 3/8" extension)

There are three tubes on the M1008 fuel sender: Fuel out to the engine (duh), fuel return (semi-duh), and the mysterious 'drain' (huh).

Hopefully this helps someone in the future (maybe even me!)
I recently replaced my 1985 chevy k30 m1008 hydraulic lines / hoses. We're talking about the hoses that go from the power steering pump to the hydro-boost brake master cylinder on the firewall, from the hydro-boost to the steering box...
My friend Matt and I just bought some plane tickets to Anchorage, AK on a whim and we're looking for things to do. Does anyone want to do some sighseeing with us? A chance to do some offroading or just learning about the people and the area would be great. We'll be there just this weekend (Dec...
