Thought I would revive this thread from nearly a year ago, and give an update on my (slow moving) project.
As seen at the Winchester Show in September, and how it sits today:

Just last week I finally got them, 5 custom made steel tanks, about 75 gallons total. Took about 6 months to order them (really difficult company) Then they made me wait 5 hours after I first drove 4 hours to get there to pick them up, I was quite [censored] after the first two hours, but that's another story in its self.
Glad to have the tanks finally...
Last year I was working on my then new RTO-6610 transmission to replace the non overdrive one in the truck.
All done cleaning it up now, but still need to paint and install it.
Last year I needed new drive shafts.
Had them made, painted and installed quite some time ago.

Seen here with a step I removed, and also shortened it 7" so it would fit between wheel and running board.

The air compressor, power steering pump, and AC compressor are mounted, and painted after this picture was taken.
