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?

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.

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?

I can't help you there. I've got aftermarket gauges so I just ordered a gauge to match the Mustang sender.

You just need to add a resistor. There is a thread on here some where I used when I put my tank in, Maybe do a search. I think it is this one a 47 ohm resistor.

Thanks, did you have to cut any material from the frame rails to get the tank up there?

I did cut the top frame rail back about 1/2 inch on each side.
