What does your bed floor look like? I don't think I could go up any higher with my install.

I got it up that high because I trimmed my cross sill. I put temporary plywood in the bed.

Any pics on how you mounted your fuel tank straps?

Whoa! I guess no one asks ya "need a lift?"!!

The problem that I have is only 6 inches from framerail to ground!! I believe I[ATTACH]Attachment 1338326[/ATTACH] don't have any options besides a fuel cell in the bed or under raised bed floor!

4x4 will do that for you. I believe it is stock height, but it must be nosebleed height for the baggers out there.

You could get a custom one made for your dimensions.

Here is a picture with the bumper installed. I figure I will have to cut a semicircle into that rear crossmember so that the filler tube will be high enough on the tank to be able to take advantage of all 21 or so gallons of capacity.

Very Nice. I really like the way you are bringing that about.

How is the filler tube ran under the bed? And is this only accomplished by widening the wheel tubs?

I used flexible fuel hose from another vehicle along with a piece of fuel grade hose from a local rubber supply store. Fuel door is from an S10. I had to notch the frame to route the hose but it works like I want. The reason for widening the tubs is to accommodate new wider wheels and tires but widening tubs wasnt necessary to run fuel filler. The Schrader valves for the rear air bags are inside the fuel door as well.

has anyone used a 64-67 mustang tank in a 60-62 frame?? just wondering about the fitment. it looks really good in that later frame posted earlier

I used a 92 Jeep Wrangler tank and a long hose going to the original filler location.
Looks factory.
