Re: Under bed fuel tank help
If you put a new crossmember at the back there really isn't any reason to keep the old one or any part of it. It had that bump up in it to make room for the spare tire and it served no other purpose.
I have a length of 4x4 unistrut across the back of my frame installed just forward of the rear bumper bolt. I did that when I installed a 20 gallon aluminum auxillary gas tank that came with a camper van my mom had but was never installed in the van. The Unistrut came out of the scrap bin at work. I won't be using that tank in the rebuild though as it hangs down too far.
