Re: Junk yard find or not

Went home during lunch and snapped some shots of the tank on and underneath the frame. I MUST be out of mind! that tank is huge although 22 gallons would be sweet!

In order for it to go all the way up above the frame I would need to almost cut completely through the flanges of the frame so that is a no go. I am looking at raising it into the frame maybe about 3-4" and having the fill neck through an opening in the frame. What do yall think?

An other option would be to section the tank in half and cut out the middle section but that is of course alot of work plus I would lose the benefit of the large tank. That kinda leads into another concern, is 22 gallons too much for that frame as it sits stock? will I need to reinforce it?
