Need to ask a favor of the s10 builders. I'm hoping to use an s10 fuel tank, in particular the one joedoh suggested(its for sure the most cost effective). However it turns out the Dakota frame is narrower than the s10. So my question is, the s10 tank is described as being 14.75 inches wide, does that include the protruding seam on each side? If the flat sides of the tank measure 14 inches, I can make it work, (the tank seam on the frame side could be tucked into the frame or set on the top edge of frame), it would leave me with about 1.5 inches between drive shaft and the tank. Thanks.
