I live close to "Brothers", so picked mine up there. I think they're also available at Performance Online and Summit Racing.

You are showing a different style of C-20. Makes a 3/4 ton pickup not look as bulky.
Job well done!!!

I was wondering how it attaches to the frame???
And if a rear tank can be used with the hitch???

Here you go. As you can see, we're running a rear tank. You do have to modify the bed cross sill to fit the tank. We cut it out, then welded it back in to make the clearance and give the bed floor back some of its strength.

Hmmm. I thought most in-frame tanks sat further back than yours...AND I've never hears of having to move a bed cross tie to install a tank...Yours may be a little ore custom than most.
Thanks!!!

On a short bed they do sit further back. There are other tanks that don't need the cross sill mod.
