Another fuel tank option for long beds

These pics aren't the greatest, but this is a tank from a 59 to 61 Cadillac Seville. I don't remember the exact dimensions but it fits between the frame rails and it has a rear fill so you have to cut a hole in the bumper. I actually had to put some angle iron in between the frame rails to space it down a few inches so the filler neck would hit the bumper in the right spot. I used a fill neck out of a 73 or so Chevy truck and mounted it in the bumper. Then ran about 6 inches of hose between the neck and the fill on the tank. You have to get a sender for a newer Cadillac tank to get the proper ohms for our gauges. I think the sender is for a 65 Seville. I would have to find the receipt to make sure. The sender also has a a pick up and vent tube. The tank also has another built in vent tube that I blocked off. I actually blocked off the tubes on the sender as well because I cut a hole in the tank and installed a in tank pump set-up to run my LS1. But that's another story. This tank is only 6 inches deep and doesn't hang as low as my bumper. Yet it holds 20 gallons of fuel.

Good to know. But more importantly, holy awesome truck! Love the way it stands. Safe to assume its a 4X4?
