I don't like the idea of that. I plan for Boyd welding tanks in my 67 and 68. Just not sure of where the fuel fill will be! We need more and better choices for the between bed tank fill situation...
I saw a video, have to find it again... the 69 F body tank does fit between the rails, just the straps are the opposite way. All the tanks sit lower unfortunately...

I just can't do a bed fill... thought about the tail light or side marker mods, but both take away something from originality... and license plate fills were common back in the day, so in my mind that's a better option.

It would be great if the available bolt in tanks had a rear fill option to use the license plate but they all seem to think top or side is all that people want.
