First, Softpatch was absolutely correct: it's def. easier to line up filler neck first and make other hookups fit by adaptation. Nothing dictates that (1)straps must go into the flat indentations around the tank or (2)tank must sit symmetrically inside the cab. Next, hoses are easy to adapt using a tubing bender and fittings. Finally, sender wire can easily be spliced: remember to use heat shrink--setting it with a heat gun--not an open flame.

Hope this helps. BTW: keep in mind all the fitting/cutting/measuring/adapting you are saving by going back into cab with your tank!

Luck w/the install, and here's hoping you will enjoy the efforts you will have made. Gotta remember, tho', you now owe us a few pics--we all need pics--we all love pics!
