Took it back and got the one I have now. I had to shave about 3/4 of a inch off the bottom of the frame and alittle off the front member. The filler neck was pointed up alittle to much so I bent it down alittle and drilled a hole in the frame. I going to put a door in the side of my bedside so I can fill it. It's been raining here a lot and the junk yard was a like a mud lake.
Looks like a nice fit. Don't you just love mud.
