ques. 1985 c10 with a 90's stepside bed????

[bguild]

So here is the deal. I have a 67 truck with a 90s z71 stepside bed.. I am trying to sell it. A guy called saying he wants to put it on his 1985 chevy and he has seen it done.. He had a few questions. Mainly about mounting and the gas tank since it sits outside the frame. I told him I would try to find out and get back with him.. i think his tank sits on the right side and mine is on the left.. Do you guys have pictures or know the answers to these questions. I am hoping to figure this out for him so I can sell him the bed. it would help me out so thanks in advance.

I have an 87 V15 with an 88-98 shortbox on it, it isn't a stepside though. I didn't put it on, it came that way, but I can tell you that two of the cross braces underneath the bed have been notched to clear the frame to get the top of the bed to sit below the chrome trim around the back of the cab, the side saddle fuel tank should clear the bed with no issues , the only thing that may be required is some creative routing of the fuel filler tube and vent tube, not an issue if they're flexible tubes. I would think if he has a single fuel tank it'd be on the driver's side.

I've attached a photo I had already of the bed on the truck so you can see what it looks like, I've seen the stepside boxes on this style truck and they do look pretty decent. I'd like to eventually find a fleetside shortbox of the proper era for mine but I'm not in a big hurry.
