Re: 71' LWB Chevy. Transferred the gas tank from cab to frame.

I have seen it done both ways, personally, I would go with sectioning the bed rail. If you section it and weld in some replacement sheet metal, you should be good to go. I believe that the higher you get the gas tank off the ground the lower you can go with the suspension itself.

Here is a link to one of those TV car shows and it shows them sectioning the bed.
