Boyd's fuel tank w/Extreme Dropmember...Kudo's to Boyd welding!

Pics of Boyd's tank installed in extreme dropmember....thought u guys running or thinking about Porterbuilts stuff or others with raised floor may want to see ....this is not a special tank...just mounted on top of frame rails...since floors are raised I was able to talk to Boyd and we figured out his "stock" fuelie tank would work...I wanted all of the ground clearance i could get but considering his stock tank only hangs down 1 1/2" below frame at front there was no need to pay extra to build a "custom" tank...Thanx to Boyd's welding again...very nice product....Jim

I have one mounted up with my Extreme Dropmember too, fit very well and the tank is really nice quality. I had to move my rear crossmember back a few inches and drill a couple of holes but no big deal. Mounted mine on top of the frame rails too.

Since mine has side fill I mounted it more rearward...eliminating rear member..however with the one behind rearend..and heavy duty bed rails....and rear crossills and bumper shouldn't be a problem....jim

Re: Boyd's fuel tank w/Extreme Dropmember...Kudo's to Boyd welding!

This is good to know. I didn't use Boyds tank because a good friend is a fabricator, but I did borrow a few of his dimensions. I always here nothing but good things about Boyd.

Also I must say jtp and bennett you guys are the reason I am finally getting my truck done, your attention to detail is motivating!

Sorry just saw this now, the filler neck is just Boyd's standard top fill and the blue ring is their company sticker.
