skchevota~ Its about time you show up
Yes your tank set up is almost the same thing I have been planning for mine. Rear cross is comming out and the hidden hitch is going to hold it all together. I picked up some tank strap rubbers last week to be used with 2x1/8.
What did you do for your tank fill?
Well plans have changed for my axel to leaf mounts. I had a shop (Valley Spring in Dixon) bend up some U-bolts today and they also sheared and punched my lower plates. The U bolts are 9/16" and the plates are 1/2" (I can only punch and shear up to 3/8" at home
) The reason for this change is that I will be making mounts for the top of the axle for my air bags to mount to and the stock pads would be in the way. The stock pads do clear teh frame so it will save you $118 for bolts like I spent today. But if you use your stock set up please atleast get new bolts and nuts! They are not ment to be reused after this many years! Be safe not cheap!!!
