Is that a stock tank? I don't know the later ones, but that tank may get me where I want. If it's stock, could you tell me how wide that is at the seam?

The tank is stock and the seam where the tank is made together is roughly 11 inches. The metal arounds it sticks out a bit further but can be bent down. I took several measurements and pictures but cant upload them from my phone. I will upload them from my computer at work in the mornin. I think its a 16 gallon tank... maybe 18

Thanks, I am trying to figure another way to get the tank out of the cab in my 69 and I think that may work for me to side hang under the bed, I dont want to put it where the spare is in the back

The tank is roughly 42 inches long and about a foot tall. Figured you might want those measurements too

Mount the spare in the bed, saddle tanks aren't the safest

A saddle is safer than in the cab and I don't like any of the fill options with the tank in the spare area
