Mid Chasis Gas Tank

[Soyuz008]

I needed a new gas tank anyway so I wanted to move it under the box. I did not want to mount it behind the axel because that is where I plan on putting the spare tire. Since I have the service box instead of a standard bed, this gave me room to put the tank in front of the rear axel.

A tank from a 1967 Mustang fit perfectly in this area, just needed a cradle to mount the tank to the frame. I welded a side filler neck onto the tank and ran the fill tube into the driver side storage bin. Finished it off with a magnetic fuel door and push through gas cap.

It will still many months before I drop in a pump and get the engine fired up, but one more task checked off the list.
