Both my gas tanks have developed leaks about a week apart I only have one new tank to install at the moment so will leave one dry for now which is easier to install left or right?

i did both the tanks on my '85 crew, & to make it easy as possible, yes it's more work but worth the aggravation, remove the bed or just shift it back a foot or so. will make life a lot easier!
