Rear Tank fitment questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi there, Just started mocking up my poly tank for the rear of my 68 SWB K-10. Does this look like the correct position? I removed the smaller support that was riveted to the lower portion of the frame first and the exhaust hanger rivet as well. My tank has a groove on the rear that lets it sit under the cross sill about two inches.

Only problem I see is that the edges of the tank (lip) that are supposed to hold under the frame seem a little narrow. You can see the pic that shows the space, I could even it out but it doesn't seem correct. If I moved the tank to the rear more then the fram narrows a little. But then the cross sill won't work and the holes wont line up. Any suggestions?
