Under bed fuel tank, front of bed?

That is exactly what I have. 69 GMC 157'' wb truck that used to be a class B motor home. Luckily they didn't cut the hole through the back of the cab. If you look at the picture, you can see the bed going down to the frame rails where I bolted a piece of folded 1/4'' plate to a factory frame hole with a 5/8'' bolt. Then I welded the riser to that. I also cut almost 2' off the back of the frame and still ended up with a 10' long bed. I'll post up a few more pics in the next day or so. Here's a couple for now, while it was in progress

Thanks!
Very nice looking truck you have there. Mine is super similar, mine also has had the rear of the frame cut so the flat bed is I think about 9.5' long. I plan to copy the way you mounted your bed.

It was a little bit of a job removing the motor home pieces. When they installed the unit there was a considerable amount of welding to the frame that I had to cut off and smooth over to get it stripped down. Here's another in progress pic

Couple of more pics. Seems I lost a folder of pictures somewhere, just took these. I put in a class V receiver while I was at it, b'cuz..why not.

Knowing basic step side dimensions I'd guess in the 40 gallon range. Pretty cool set-up
