Re: Any pics of rear gas tanks?

The rear brace is still in the stock location and seems fine for a rear strap mount. I painted the visible part of the tank satin black so it will "bend in" under the truck. Now I have to hook it all up and make it all secure against the bed cross sill.
Looks real good. I wish i saw it before making mine. It may have been a usable option for me and looks great in yours.
Finished up mine. Hangs a little low so i may have to mod it a little in the end but all and all im happy with it. First tig welding project, pressure tested to 20psi and I can stand on it (220lbs) when installed between the frame. I will end up putting the pick up, return, and vent all on the metal access plate.
