Nice project esp with your boys. How far does the fuel tank hang down? Can't tell from the pic. Will the filler neck clear the bed ?
Thanks Rich

The tank is not as low as the diff. I dont have the wheels/tires that Im gonna use, so a measurement would not be accurate, but here is a pic.
I will have to snap another pic of the filler later, but basically I un-soldered it, slipped it down into the tank until the horizontal portion of the filler was all but touching, then re-soldered! (Not sure if all of those were actual words, but I think it paints the picture)

I returned from a vacation, and got back out to the shop to get a little done! First order of business was to clean up just enough to push the truck out and set the cab back on to start my hand at body work.... Go easy on me, as stated before, this is my first!

By the way, these are NOT the wheels/tires that will be used.... these were free!

Here are a couple of better shots of the tank (filler neck and stance)
