Yet another gas tank thread (not the typical blazer between the frame rails stuff)
OK, I don't remember that well, but I am pretty sure that my 84 had a cylindrical tank mounted on the passenger side outside of the frame rail under the cab/bed interface. I have not seen anyone do this to our trucks... because I do not want to ruin my spare tire area, and I don't want it in the cab anymore.
Has anyone taken a air tank and crafted a gas tank out of it or anything like that? How about mounting an odd shaped fuel cell there or close to it? I realize that the tank being outside of the frame rails is inherently less safe, but it'd better than in the cab, and a fuel cell is a whole lot safer than a tank anyways. Any ideas on this? I like my spare tire (even though it currently does not live there)! Thanks -Brian

Yeah, my reason is to make room for newer style seats and maybe a radio. Also, I think the tank leaks because it smells gassy, not to mention my filler neck is all screwed up.

Do a beer keg tank in the front of the bed. Looks kinda cool and old school. If you can find an empty keg that someone doesn't want to refill.

I don't want to go into the bed, although I thought about it for a long time... I use the truck as a truck too much for that...
But thanks for the suggestion
