I received them apart, I never had them assembled correctly.

The tank was on the shelves and the truck was in the yard.
Oh, missed that part - and it's totally understandable.

That's one of the things that GM usually does, they make the hoses a
different size so they can't go together backwards.

Indeed which is why I still find it at least a little puzzling it was
doable. But, I've not had a Kodiak version of the Chebby; only the C60
(which is seriously old as in antique) and the C70 is only about 15 yr
newer. Since then we've gone to the tractor/trailer route for actual
hauling, 4-500 bu that seemed big load way back when just won't cut it
now when it's a 2 hr or longer wait-time to unload .

Well, all lines were interchangeable, size wise. Not all could reach
to all nipples, but some could (and were) mixed up.

I have decided that until I find a cheap enough and suitable enough
semi trailer for my semi tractor, I will use the dump truck and the
15k trailer that I have, for moving industrial surplus stuff around.

Got your CDL yet? If not I wouldn't be driving that dump around.
