For the dual tank switch. I’m nervous about this one. Does anyone have a measurement of the opening?
Im plumbing in the selector valve and all that good stuff. But I’ve been procrastinating due to this hole. I’m even pondering just tucking the switch under the dash

I can trace the dash hole - scan it in actual dimensions and email / PM it to you (tomorrow). Would give you an exact templet. ?! Mine's an 85 - so no idea if its different or not.

If you need these emailed to you, just say. They're scanned at actual size but not sure if anything changes by posting them here.

Thank you very much. I’m going to get some fresh wheels for the dremel and get to it. I also need to extend the wiring for the switch. It don’t make it to the factory location. I drilled the hole through the firewall too far away.

Hate it when that happens.

My truck is getting gutted - all the wiring is butchered and hacked. I went to pull the switch and it came apart in my hand....lol. Going FI so the switch is different and had to go anyways.
