Yea.. that's got a nice 'low profile' look to it.

I don't want the truck to end up looking like I got a pontoon boat sitting on the back.. know what I mean? And the 'step' tanks wouldn't do me any good unless I took off the factory running boards, which I have no interest in doing.

The truck has the original splash oil 235 in it.. not sure what it gets for gas mileage, but it seems to run just about forever around the farm on 5 gallons of gas, and I recently discovered the 'stock' under seat tank was 18 gallons.. so i'd guess something in the 15 to 20 gallon range would suit me just fine, since I won't really be driving it much further than 30 miles round trip.. at the most.

I guess a rectangular style tank might not look bad, either.. so long as it isn't some monster 100 gallon deal.

If anyone else has pics of a '46 1.5 or 2 ton with under bed/box fuel tanks, I sure would like to see 'em.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
