first off do you have a dual bed? you will need to cut a hole in your dash and you can get the switch and harness and pump and wiring from a junk yard

 You can get a switching valve, switch and hoses from autozone. The fuel tank filler pipes aren't available anywhere that I know of.

Has anyone ever put dual gauges for the dual tanks and did away with the switch in the dash?

Why? the gauge switches with the valve so you know what the level of both is?
