LMC Gas Tank Install: bed left on?
Anyone know if I can install the LMC rear mounted gas tank with the bed left on?
I called LMC and they have no idea. They couldn't provide any installation information at all. I've read the posts on here about the kit lacking install instructions. |

Yes, you can, but You will need to trim one of the bed cross members for clearance.

Re: LMC Gas Tank Install: bed left on?
It's easier on a wood bed, you can loosen the bed bolts, remove all the bolts for the cross member and take the cross member out, cut it, and put it back in. That's what I did on mine.
On a steel bed, I would think you would have to remove it to cut it out, or use torches or a plasma? I was actually looking at a build thread last night with this done. See post #159 and below: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=563966&page=7

Re: LMC Gas Tank Install: bed left on?
Well done! I didn't think there would be enough room up under the truck to fit one in!
