I have been following along on Youtube as the Idaho Fabricator builds his truck. He does fantastic videos and really explains what he is doing and why. I have gotten several ideas from him as they just made sense. The gas tank and how to mount it was one of those items.

I bought a 1941-48 Ford passenger car tank from Tanks Inc. I love the way it mounts with one threaded mount in the front and two in the back. So I started by making these brackets that will bolt to the tank like this.








I then made this drop out bracket that will bolt to the tanks front mount as well as to a welded in crossmember.





What I like about this is its simplicity. When/if I ever need to service the tank I will remove the two rear bolts, but because the tank is on top of the mounting tabs it will stay where it is. The I will remove the two bolts that go through the crossmember into the front mount and then lower the tank down.
