Sorry I took so long to get these posted. The left rear corner of the tank that is near the 3rd member of the rear axle is 36 inches from the center crossmember And 14 and a half inches from the inner edge of the frame rail.

You can see from the rear photo that it's above the rear axle, but the springs aren't compressed much being there is no motor and all in the truck. It's got 3" lowered springs though.

If you need anything else let me know.
