Re: '59 4x4 Build
After some time off due to lower back pain, I'm once again working on the Puzzle. Recently, I looked at where the 25 gal. K5 Blazer fuel tank would go. I initially thought just ahead of the rear diff, but found my suspension travel would be limited, so I moved the rear crossmember to the end of the frame rails and worked from there. The next crossmember, just behind the rear axle, had to be moved forward to provide enough room. Then I had to ensure the filler tube would not interfere with the bed cross support, which moved it forward a little more. I removed the old shock top mounts as they would hit the bed in their higher location over the rear axle.
