Relocating the fuel tank was pretty easy. Had to remove the crossmember in the very back of the frame where the spare tire attaches. The only other modification was cutting out one of the channels that goes across the bottom of the bed to give the top of the tank clearance. I bought both stainless fuel and brake line from Inline Tube because I don't want to worry about them rusting out in the future. Also used stainless bolts to attach.

When I bought the truck the previous owner had already bought the gas tank from LMC. It was new in the box and came with the straps and sending unit. There were no instructions other than "this tank will require custom modifications to install". I believe the tank is the same tank that is installed between the frame rails on a Chevy Blazer.

Here are some pictures. Let me know if you have any questions when you start.
