I did that for my 58, but I don't know if that experience is applicable to your question. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 299 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 299 | Mine is the 1953 Chevrolet 3600 3/4 ton
The reason I am asking is because my gas tank is practically brand new. So if it is possible, I'd like to mount it between the rails. And just use it. I guess I will have to do some measuring tonight and figure it out.

I vaguely recall someone doing a fuel tank relocation on one, but I can't think of who that was. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2021 Posts: 1,066 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2021 Posts: 1,066 | I think the behind the seat tank is very tall compared to the space available under the bed to mount it. The under bed fuel tanks that were used in earlier models were shorter and wider to fit the space and provide the capacity desired. | | |
