Re: Gas Tank

The bottom of the stock tanks are lower than the pinch weld and frame.

Re: Gas Tank

To my limited knowledge, no, not without a lot of work.
I've never attempted it, but I don't believe the extra inch is there to work with. So it'll have to come from somewhere.
Shorter (height) of the tank or rework the cab floor.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.

Re: Gas Tank

A few people make the tank shorter if they want side saddle or they can use a small fuel cell.
