Well they've dried up and cracked and are sucking air now.  Trucks been sitting for a few months cuz I haven't gotten to it yet.   

Which do you guys think is easier, Raise the bed enough to access them (bed bolts were removed 18 years ago and tack welded to the bed floor) or drop the tanks (which have never been removed from new)?

I think it's gonna be raise the bed.  What's the best way to do that?  Do I have to remove the step bumper?  I last replaced those hoses 18 years ago when the bed was off for painting but we didn't have ethanol gas back then.  I have new good hoses for that now, just askin which you think is easier, I think it'll be raising the bed.

raising the bed would be easier IMO.  With the bed bolts tacked to the bed would be a plus.
