I have only put two and a half tanks of GAS in it since I got it back from Eric, which is really nice.
How's that working out? lol
Well at least I did pump the correct fuel. Amazingly enough I have never been tempted to put gas in it out of habit.

What kind of mileage are you getting now by the way?
Pictures as it is currently.
Can lift and the tire selection have such a negative effect on mpg's?
Nice job on conversion!
I suspect something wrong w/your mpg's have you corrected the VSSB for tire size, or?
I have crunched the numbers many times for my burb w/NAVISTAR 6.5 turbo diesel and get constant 22 mpg @ 60 mph when seriously loaded or towing (less than 5k lbs) take maybe 4 mpg's away from that figure.

Assume you were towing trailer when the damage happened. Having not seen your trailer attached to your Duraburb I suspect your bent chassis rails are more likely than not from a drop down draw bar acting like a lever when it moved forward increasing downward leverage instead of in a forward linear motion when you hit the brakes bending the rear frame rails down, this damage is quite common when extreme dropped draw bars are used. Focus on eliminating the lever effect.
GM up-fitter manuals have a great breakdown of reinforcing/extending chassis and boxing gussets can be fabricated for reinforcement.
