Now that is cool! Nice work guys.

Looks sweet.

That looks awesome! Seeing that makes me think my 40 Ford's frame needs that treatment.

Baldeagle SR · 02-27-2015, 09:19 AM

Thanks!

Part of the reason we are reworking the rear of the truck is to make room for a custom 44 gal. tank we ordered from Aluminum Tank Industries, Inc about a month ago. Tank came in today

1985-GMC · 03-10-2015, 02:56 AM

Looks sweet! It should get you a few miles with that big block ;-)

RockTonka · 03-10-2015, 03:28 AM

Yea, just a bit farther than the stocker...

Kim57 · 03-10-2015, 08:32 AM

Nice looking tank.
Kim

RockTonka · 03-11-2015, 02:55 AM

Thanks Kim, it's a big tank but with the flat bed frame work we knew we could push it up farther than normal...fits in nice for 44 gals.

RockTonka · 03-11-2015, 03:06 AM

We finished fitting and welding the exhaust up tonight...gonna run through some FM 40s under the door to behind the side boxes to slash cut tips at the top rear of the boxes...might be a little loud.

Kim57 · 03-11-2015, 08:11 AM

Very nice looking.
Kim

RockTonka · 03-15-2015, 04:40 AM

Thanks for the continued support Kim!

Worked on the rear of the bed, added some detail work.

**Advanced Design** · 03-15-2015, 08:46 AM

The exhaust and rear bed detail is very nice!

Kim57 · 03-15-2015, 10:33 AM

Your fab and detail is some of the best on this site.
Kim

6BT 56 · 03-15-2015, 10:42 AM

Looking good guys. I hope you never meet a guy who likes to,put square holes in everything. He'd be like your evil twin. Lol. What are your plans for sound deading for the cab. Noise is cool out side but as I get older I like it less inside . That thing is going to have a rumble to it for sure .

Keep up the great work.

OrrieG · 03-15-2015, 02:35 PM

Am I missing something? It looks like the exhaust goes thru the upper dump bed side rail??? Did you decide to eliminate the dump feature?

Keep up the great work.

Sound deadening matting will be used where possible and the bottom half of the interior will be rhino lined...will help a bit

The exhaust tip is capped off flat at the back. The exhaust tubing comes up behind the side box and goes into the side of the tip...dump feature is alive and well.

RockTonka · 03-16-2015, 12:35 AM

Welded some angle to the tank and some tabs on the frame, 3/8" rubber strips in between tank and frame at the three mounts and tank is bolted in.
