Sounds like the valve's already spoken for, but if he changes his mind, I'm interested. The lines would be good to have too 
i did have an issue with the rear tank.
it would switch fine, but when switched to the rear tank,
it would sputter and die after a few miles.
i did go through the sender, extended the pick up, and cleaned the vent tube and bought a new cap.
still had issues.
it would switch back to the front tank just fine, so IDK, it could be clogged, this application, it was easier to just delete the front tank.
no issues with the new rear tank so far.
drove it about 30 miles.
either of you still interested?

i was gonna tell him to kick rocks, and send them to you, but what a great way to get another member to upgrade to a supporting member! lol
can i use a torch and JB weld? lol dissatisifaction garenteed! lol
i cant wait till i get the bed back on!
i havnt touched the bed yet.
too busy with the holidays and family.
i did to a bit of work today on the rear doors, using front door window regulator motors and adapting them to the rear door window regulator.
i have the motor mounted on the regulator, but its nopt complete yet.
going on a short trip, ill post a thread on it when i get back.
not too practical tho, need to have machining and tig welding capabilities.
im sure your 97 regulator swap was easier.

Oh for sure buddy. Had the chance to get them cheap and jumped on them for that reason. Can't get super complicated, no 220 and the crew doesn't fit in the garage. Stuck out side in the rain for most my projects.
4 regulators will get expensive lol, not to mention the time hunting them down. local parts stores cant get them.
i do need to find a weather stripping set, mine are all fract'd

they said they wouldnt work, they were right
ok, after 4 hours of machining, fabbing, and welding.
im throwing in the towel.
if i was making shop rate, i could have bought the 97 regulators.
and take an hour to install. ALL 4!
i did get the electric motor working, but what a pain in the ass!
and i would still have to make custom door panels!
ill be repairing the damage ive done and buying regulators.
on the brighter side, as tomorrow is christmas with my parents,
my son decided to make them a lawn sculpture.
what do you buy grandparents that buy whatever they want???

No worries
he got his name in first and I wouldn't want to cut in line. I appreciate the thought, though...congrats on getting the valve gone so quickly 
No worries
He has been contacted, and given instructions. No reply. I'm on vacation till Friday. So if he don't get back to me, it will be up for grabs again.
Man, I'm going through IDI withdraws. I have 3 PSD's and damn, I MISS MY IDI!!!!!
I can't wait till she's a driver again.
I have to get all the final touches done by the 5th.
That's the one I seen please let me know how it goes for you. I've been reading a few builds and taking notes on what people have done.. Lots of great info!!
BTW very impressed with you and your friends skills.
