I've done it both ways. I have the original behind-the-seat tank re-mounted at the front of the bed. It wasn't all that difficult . . . unless you're somewhat lazy. I sure like the cab room I now have. I have a second 25 gal, fuel tank mounted behind the rear axle with the filler opening at the back of the bed. You may have to use air-lift shocks to keep that fuel tank from dragging when full. They're cheap.
Good luck! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 98 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 98 | Apace Kid,
When u mounted the tank at the front of the bed,what did you use for the filler, How did you mount it etc.
Thanks

I had rigged the stock filler from side of cab, through floor into new tank inside frame. Had trouble filling the tank this way so be sure to have a filler door somewhere near the tank. Have seen little flip up lids in the wooden floor, etc. | | |
