63 w/14 gal Mustang Tank
Hey guys, I picked up a 14 gall Mustang tank the other day.
I have just the cab sitting in the frame with suspension and rear differential installed. I know I will need to trim the frame rails , but how far forward from the rear of frame rails does the tank get mounted? Thanks in advance for any input |

I didn't use the Mustang tank. I used a Tanks Inc one and I put it as far forward as I could.

I mounted that same tank in my truck up to the cross brace. on the short bed there is just enough room. I don't have a good picture to show.

What I’m hearing is mount it as far forward as possible?

Re: 63 w/14 gal Mustang Tank
It took up all the space on mine. I don't think you will have a choice.

I'm running the Mustang tank I bought from Tanks Inc. I tucked it in under the top of the frame.

Re: 63 w/14 gal Mustang Tank
Thanks! I try that too. Did you figure out what to do about the sending unit to make it work with our factory fuel gauge?

Re: 63 w/14 gal Mustang Tank
I can't help you there. I've got aftermarket gauges so I just ordered a gauge to match the Mustang sender.

Re: 63 w/14 gal Mustang Tank
I did cut the top frame rail back about 1/2 inch on each side.
