Underbed fuel tank project

Well, its been too long since Ive made any progress on my truck but for the last 4 weeks I spent my winter vacation working at a sheetmetal manufacturing company that a friend of the family owns and Ive had this idea to make this for a long time. I drew out sketches and dimensions of all the pieces. We drew them up in the cad software then punched all the parts on the huge cnc turret punch. I had the break operator bend up the sides and step bend the roll and then I welded the baffles in with a Dynasty 350. My plans are to mount an intank fuel pump for my 5.3l but not quiet exactly sure which one yetHere is a teaser of the progress.


I still need to weld on the extruded angle to the sides so i can mount it to the truck and then figure out which fuel pump Im using so I can cut the hole on the top piece before I weld it on
And oh ya, it makes it soooo much easier when you have the right tools..
