Convert Onan QG5500 LP to Gas

I contacted a dealer earlier this morning and they're going to go work with me this week to figure out the part #s. Hopefully it'll be somewhat practical/reasonable to do, or else I'll try to find someone willing to trade.
Old thread...but did this ever work?
It did - I don't have the part numbers on hand (or in my email) because it was all handled via phone. The Cummins/Onan dealer was super helpful and even delivered the parts to my house. I used a marine fuel tank and fuel pump sourced from Amazon and a bunch of misc fittings from auto parts stores.
I ultimately converted it back to LP because I wanted the space from the fuel tank back for my solar equipment. Generators aren't for me.
Edit: it looks like I posted the part numbers above, but if I recall correctly, the ones posted weren't correct. Or maybe they were - it's an old thread, unfortunately, as you said.
