Re: 85 GMC Sierra "Scarlett"

I just couldn't bring myself to hang those big ugly overlow tank and washer bottles back on the nicely painted Slosh Tubz. I considered mounting smaller ones on the back of the core support but that wasn't appealing either.

Instead I opted for a pair of stainless tanks that will eventually painted cast iron gray. I tried to locate one on each side of the radiator for symmetry, but its physically impossible on the passenger side. That left me with no choice but to mount them together on the drivers side.

Last night I worked on a mounting system since the brackets that came with them wouldnt work. I tried several options and settled for 1 1/4" square tube. To allow room to open the lids I had to move them apart abit so two pieces of stock were bolted together.

I still have to determine exactly how to mount this to the core support. Once a location is established I will had a pump and lines for the washer fluid behind the Slosh Tubz filler panel.
