Between the rear frame rails behind the rear axle, I have seen a lot of Chevy's and Ford's this way

think ramcharger or motorhome van type nose , both should have what your wanting .

My motor home tank is 38 gal. If you want to feel the pain at every fill. If you are planning on a lot of traveling it maybe just the thing. Your going to have to find a different spot for the spare.

there is a bed spare mount

I've known a couple of people who have swapped in ramcharger tanks, but I'm not sure of all the details. I've always liked the fuel filler behind the license plate bracket on a friend's 1985 Ramcharger, but I'm not completely sure of the ins and outs of how that particular bumber fitment would work on a truck bed.

Just a quick progress update

 

[a68postcar]

Trying to get this sheetmetal done.

 

[a68postcar]

Yeah

 

[paul massaro]

who's pieces are those ? did you have to replace the mounts on the cab as well ?

 

[a68postcar]

Thanks for looking Paul. Kenny Exline at ExlineCustoms.com fabbed all the floor step and rocker parts along with both pieces for the front mounts and the front end piece for the rockers. I got the dimentions for the rear mount box(inner and outer) and had a local sheet metal shop break them for me, then repaired the "U" shaped rear mounts. Kennys work is incredible and i would recomend his parts to anyone working on a sweptline truck. If theres any particular part you wish to see, let me know and i will try to get you some pics or a drawing or whatever else i can help you with. Postcar.
