I took a break from studying today (the big test is on Friday...then I'm FREE!!!!) I installed the gas tank. I messaged the guy who's link I posted above, but got no reply, so I did this on my own in about 3 hrs or so. I guess I still have a little more things to do, but it's done for now.
I made some mounting straps from 2" wide aluminum I got from HD.
Like I said, I had to cut the bottom of the frame to make it wider for the tank to fit up in there. I also ended up moving the rear most cross member back about 3 inches or so.
Here it is finished (for now)
The ground clearnance with this tank is pretty good. I believe its a lot better than the blazer tank.
Lowered all the way:
"ride height":
I still have to cut a hold for the filler tube. I'll probably have the filler inside the bed...maybe in the rear stake pocket or behind the wheel well. Oh, it will be on the right side.
Oh, I also ordered new SS brake lines and all the parts for my fuel lines. So I'll be doing some plumbing next weekend!
