fuel valve placement?

[JD1973]

Hey All,
I have 73K10. came with a single tank, I know have dual tanks, and am putting on a electric valve, since my truck didn't come with one I'm wondering where the stock placement for this valve is, can one of you show me a picture of it mounted?

Its down on the passenger side frame rail, in the vicinity of the crossmember right behind the cab. Gotta go get the pic, stand by

On edit - I found some screen shots I took of the work of others here on the site when I was doing my tank drop and replumb job. Their stuff was way easier to see, giving me the notion of how stuff was supposed to go. Next frame, please.

Way better view that I can get looking up into the dark on my rig with its cab and bed in place. I will go get a shot or two of mine if you think it will help you.

My 77 has aftermarket dual tank and aftermarket 1 wire valve. It’s located in the center of a crossmember near the front of the tanks.
If you’re going OE valve, they’re kind of oddly mounted as shown above. 3 bolts iirc, once of which is hard to get to and may need the heat shield depending on how close your exhaust is.
I’d look for a junk setup and take pics and as many parts as you can or it’ll be a bit of a puzzle. IMO.
If your 73 is a simple carb setup with no return/vent line, I’d seriously consider just using an off the shelf 1 wire valve and switch unless you’re going for full OE restoration.
