Re: Blazer Tank Install

do you have to cut the cross stills on a stepside bed when you relocate the tank on a truck under the bed?

You do if you are going to mount the tank flanges against the frame (I would recommend this). Some of the videos I have seen of people putting in tanks show them spacing the tank down and cutting the frame to clear the filler (I would NOT do this). I have the blazer tank in my frame and will soon be working out the bed if you want to take a look at my build.
