vehicle needs all rubber replaced for gas lines ,neck, vent as well as gas tank gaskets. also has a fuel delivery problem. vapor locking. gets hot and won’t start. also maybe aftermarket gas gauge or replace 2 old ones that don’t work properly

That’s too bad. Its an old truck, rubber degrades. Do you have a question?
