Re: Auxiliary Tank
You will need to siphon out any gas out of the tank, thru the gas filler tube. Then I would drop the skid plate, and disconnect the gas filler hose, the sending unit wire on the sending unit, and the two other rubber hoses (one on tank and one on sending unit). Then you should be able to have access to the gas tank straps, so they can be disconnected, and you can remove the aux gas tank. I would use something to support / prop up the skid plate and gas tank as you remove them, as they are heavy. Here is an excellent article by Fordification on the gas tanks, including the aux gas tank. Make sure you click on the additional photos of the aux gas tank.

Re: Auxiliary Tank
As mentioned above, it is very easy. I replaced my auxiliary tank in my 70 f250 SC camper special years ago. I think this was back in 1996 and that tank was from LMC. Its still shiny new inside.
