RMCHGR You know how it is when you post a picture of what you are working on at the moment and everyone notices other things besides the main subject. LOL
What are those clamps on the rear springs set up like? Is that a Cal-trac system?
Yes, they are Caltracs. Split monos, aluminum spring eyes, Rancho/Calvert adjustable shocks, the whole 9. Plus, I used Dr. Diff offset spring hangers - WAY nicer and WAY lighter than the old MP bricks.

Yep, just a mechanical pump and a fuel tank. I thought about an electric though, believe me, it was a hard decision not to get one. Still up in the air as to whether I made the right choice. If/when I do go with an electric it will be in tank fo sho.

It's tight. I used some neoprene tool box liner between the top of the tank and the body. I put some of it on top of the straps as a cushion to keep the aluminum from getting gouged over time.

Yeah, they are nice but I am still unsure whether the money would have been better spent elsewhere. It's a tough call, again, most would probably just opt for a cell over a tank if there was any extra work or cost involved.
