Re: gas tank question

mounted between the frame rails in the rear, yes. Look up tail light gas fill etc for different set ups.

Re: gas tank question

I would just get the summitt racing fuel cell and locate it to the rear. It comes with straps, sending unit. you just need to run fuel line.
I think I spent $150 total. 16 gallon tank. The only thing left to do it get a gas door from CPP or Brothers Truck and complete the job in the bed.

Re: gas tank question

Here is my install into a 67 LB/FS.
One frame brace needs to move back, spare tire brace comes off, and a cross sill needs to be trimmed for the tank flanges to fit up against the frame.
