GMT400 Suburban Frame Off Build: Body Removal & Getting Ready for Frame Paint! (What To Remove)
What happens here
The fuel tank needs to be dropped to access body mounts and other components. The creator uses an impact driver to remove the bolts holding the fuel tank straps. He then lets the tank rest on a stack of tires to prevent damage and allows access to remaining connections. He disconnects the fuel pump plug and cuts the feed and return lines, noting they are old and will be replaced. He also disconnects a vent line.
Goal: Safely lower the fuel tank to access other components and prepare for body removal
