Just put the same tank in my 68! Great quality. I took the rear Xmember out and put the tank between the frame rails. Took three Hex couplings (3/8) and cut them in half. Drilled holes in the tank flanges and marked the locations on the frame. Welded the hex couplings in place and bolted the tank in. Raised the tank up about 1.25"; was worried that the tank might show too much because I have no bumper.
Then welded up a new Xmember that can be unbolted so I can remove the tank when I get the frame powder coated.
