1985 Duel Tank Project Advise
I have an '85 with the 4.9l inline. The bed on it has a second door for a secondary fuel tank. I was wondering how hard it is to install the second tank and have it act just like a factory setup?

Lets see, a tank,filler tube and cap, hangers for tank,fuel lines,wiring(for fuel gauge),fuel gauge, switch to shift from tank to tank,valve to switch from tank to tank,and misc. crap.
approx.$850 in parts plus your time to do it,this is if you are carbed ,FI is probly $300 more.

If it's carb, you could do it for ~$80 in new aftermarket parts. If it's EFI, I'd swap everything to used (junkyard) '90-96 tanks, pumps, & fuel gauge. For more info, click my black Bronco in my sig & read the captions in the '90-96 Fuel System album. Then read '84-89 Fuel Reservoirs to see why you DON'T want that setup.
