Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build

I got the fuel tank set in its semi-final possition. I had a old bed frame laying around so i cut it up and made a few cell mounts with it. I have two L shaped metal crossmembers bolted to gether to make a C and Notched the ends to sit on top of the frame. It is not a high doller set up but is seems like it will hold the tank well. Just need to pick up a new rear crossmember from porterbuilt and get some bolts and it will be final. It is close enough to run the fuel lines and stuff. I will paint it and the cell straps befor it is final. The tank sits with a 2 degree slope to the rear sump. I assume that is plenty. May be less when bolted down.
