You're going to tweak your floor anyway so you could still use that blazer tank. Instead of pulling it up to the bottom of the frame rail, try pulling it up to the bottom of the top frame rail. It's worth 4".

I never even gave that a thought!!!!

I think the blazer tanks are 10" deep so that should work if i mount to the top of the frame rail like you suggested. Thanks!!

Made some more progress to the cheapskate mobile! Got the floor done in the bed and a mustang gas tank mounted. Still need to figure out the sending unit issue and a filler neck. The tank fits nicely between my widened frame rails.
I will stain the boards and brush the aluminum strips when i disassemble for painting.
