Welcome to Stovebolt.

It looks to me like the in-cab tank is a later (54?) one that uses a top outlet in the sending unit. A '52 would have had a bottom outlet. That's not to say that you couldn't use that in-cab tank, but you'll need to run a line from that connection on top.

You have it right as far as the carburetor, but there's no return line or pressure regulator, unless you have a non-stock engine that needs one.

There was no frame mounted tank in '52 models, so that was either added or it's on an earlier frame.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
