Re: 40 Gallon Tank
The second step is to make two wood spacers to space the tank the correct distance from the rear floor. I trimmed a couple pieces of 4X4 treated. The front one is cut to fit between the small indent in the front top of the tank. with these blocks inplace on top of the tank and the tank jacked up into place you can install screws into the blocks from the top down from inside the rear of the suburban. this will locate the tank and hold it down from the floor. The tank looks low in the pictures but it is only 1" lower than the old tank. This weekend I will mount the straps and post the pictures on Monday. I will put the floor reinf. back in about 3 inches rearward of the original position, add a piece of flat stock to the top of the frame where the crossmember use to be then when I make the reciever hitch it will tie the bottom of the frame together.
