Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank

Does anyone with a side fill tank have to notch the frame for clearance? Here's a few pictures of what I'm referencing. I'm also considering removing the rear brace to slide the tank inside the frame rails & shim it so the fill tube is above the top of the frame. Question: Can I swap the current rollover safety valve & return line locations? Reason: The rollover is directly under a bed floor brace & looks like it will hit it if raised up.
