Re: 67 SWB 4x4
Here is the tank before being bolted up.
It is a roughly 28-30 gallon tank done by Boyd's Welding.
This thing is hell for stout.
I had it made to follow the curve of the frame, and leave 1" for axle travel if it ever moves about a foot........
The tank has about 1/4-3/8" clearance around the frame.
It will not hamper mounting the hidden hitch at all.
When we coat the inner fenders with the hard epoxy bed liner I will shoot the tank bottom also.
This will hang down 1 1/2" below the bumper, and be almost perfectly hidden and protected by the hidden hitch.
To make it real easy to drop, I have tacked the 6) 3/8" bolts in the frame rail, and will use nylon lock nuts.
