As long as you have air tools it is really easy. Mine only took 2 hours with a friends help.

Ahhh, Air tools. The greatest asset to a garage since the Roof was invented.

You can go months without using them but need them even once and it's money well spent.

Extending filler neck is fun. Might also have to adjust your shifter cable at the transmission gear selector arm. (Under the truck, not the dashboard)
4 holes drilled. 2 for cables and 2 for rear bumper brackets
And the positive battery cable has to be freed from a spot that's its tied down at so it'll reach.
Follow instructions for the rest , except for undoing any hoses from radiator. It doesn't need to be done, and that plastic is old an brittle. I had to buy a new radiator for no reason because I followed the instructions saying to undo the overflow resivior line and the inlet broke.

I am pretty sure you don't extend the trans shifter cable, I'm gonna assume here that it's an adjustment and slight relocation so it'll make the trip from interior to transmission.
