I was bored today, so I.......

Now on to the fuel tank. I removed the stocker, because of several clearance issues. The yoke on my 9" rear end is offset slightly to the passenger side, so when I flexed the suspension, the DL came in contact with the tank's skid plate. I also didn't like the idea of my kids sitting directly over the tank. I was going to build a steel tank (ie James K's) but B-rad told me that he had an aluminum one out of a boat that I could have. It was 28 gal. and super low profile. I cut it down to fit sideways between the framerails at the back of the truck. It's going to be about 15.5 gallons. Muleskinner ended up with the other half, about 12.5 gallons. An external pump will be mounted on the frame. I will be using one of Holley's new multi-point pickups in the tank, so no matter what angle I'm on, I shouldn't run out of gas.

Dude, don't sell youself short. Your rear end is bigger than 9" and I don't want to hear about your offset yoke. None of my business!

Cool looks good so when you cut that tank in half did it have baffles inside?

 

[BOB-CAT]

[jmaxj]

[Jinx]

Holy COOOOOW!

All I can say is that I am completely jealous. You have to love it when a project comes together.

Keep up the good work...

 

[Coreshot]

Yeah, two baffles. And I just happened to cut right between them, so my tank has one and Scott's has the other.

Thanks, Bob and Nic, I appreciate the enthusiasm

I just ordered my PRP seats, two Premier Highbacks, and a 50" wide bench with 3 harnesses for the kids.

Is 50" the outside measurement of that bench?

 

[Coreshot]

Is 50" the outside measurement of that bench?

Yup, it is 50" to the very widest point on the padding, the frame is actually about 3.5 inches narrower.

Muleskinner helped get the new tank welded up on Saturday. He's becoming quite a good TIG welder...
