I welded the lid on and checking for leaks. I pressurized the tank and sprayed soapy water to help locate the spots I missed:
I then stuck it up in the truck to check fitment:
Nice and clean. This allowed me to make the stops for the tank:

Good clearance which is what I wanted, and still should net 36~ gallons:
Shot from the back:
I also had the liberty of moving the filler neck and vent to the rear of the tank, this made a straight shot over to the tank instead of forward like the original:
I built the blurry rear axle shock mounts and welded them on. They look clearer in real life:
