It will fit, but you must make a couple of alterations to your truck first.
1.) Remove 1" crossmember that the original spair tire sets up against. 2.) Notch 1 1/2" deep, the second from the rear bed bottom cross sill, so the tank flanges can rest against the bottom of the frame rails. 3.) Drill the frame for the J-bolts and strait bolts. 4.) Figure out some sort of gas filler for it. (A popular one is at this link: http://www.classicheartbeat.com/mark...t_gas_door.htm ) WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

tank
Quote:
i think you should check into this more before you buy one. price is about the same for both. i think the poly tank would fit ok if you can find a quality piece. good luck. |
