I have looked and looked and looked and get 2 answers all the time on the gas tank. I am told the 47 and 48 were under the bed and moved to behind the seat in 49. Some tell me it was behind the seat all the time. I have seen pictures of it both ways. So my preference would be under the bed on the right side and then I can get the seat all the way back. I need those couple inches of room. I bought the tank and hardware from one of the larger suppliers. Only thing I am changing is I put a sending unit in the tank that has the gas tube out the top. That way if I ever have a leak in the line I wont lose all the gas. Just what is in the line.
