I have, but why do more work than necessary. The tank is good and the spare was pretty nice when I took it out, real clean inside. For what I'll be doing the inside tank is fine. Just curious, what capacity is the inside tank is?
Don't know and to each his own . But the thought of driving around with a gas tank right behind me in the cab wouldn't be high on my list as a benefit . Not to mention the fumes inside the cab . Plus putting the tank all the way back would be a good spot for the added weight for traction . We all know that pick-up's are normally light in the rear to begin with . But it was just a thought and it wouldn't be that hard or expensive to do . You'd just have to figure out were you where going to put the filler tube . There's a couple of place's on your truck you could put it .
Oh the trouble I'd get into if you lived closer!
I've never noticed any fumes inside the cab, and what's in the tank now is got a strong odor when you open the cap, so the fume issue isn't a problem, for now. The truck is going to be a poodle dressed as a Hell hound, a wimpy (ok, not so wimpy) on road show toy. That's what I'm aiming for. Sure it'll be capable of doing most anything, but it never will live up to it's billing. This is the first vehicle I actually thought about making a show poodle, so the weight thing isn't an issue either. Then you gotta bring up filler necks and what not! If I do end up going with a tank in the frame, I do have another box I could use, or I'd at least have a filler neck to graft in when the time comes. But then I'd chop up a perfectly good bed, and I don't want to do that. As for a fuel cell type setup, that would work but I'd need a ladder to get to the box to fill it up.
It'll be ready to go anywhere and get there quickly, I just will keep it on the pavement.
I've thought of doing something on the lines of that If I went the plate rout . But If I remember right , the other issue was that the filler would end up lower then the top of the tank . Unless I lowered the mounting on the tank . But I want it as up in there as possible . More then likely when I get to the point of installing a rear tank ( weather it be a Ramcharger tank or a cell ) , I'm going to have the filler in the floor of the bed . As to how I hide it ( If I do ) , well I've got a couple of ideas .
Get axles and lift kit this year maybe?
NP there. Good reading for me as I'm considering this also. I have a rear tank from a dual tank truck I was going to use but having a hard time finding a sending unit for it. Want to move some weight to the back as the diesel is adding to the front end.Sorry Indy , If we kind of got side tracked on your build thread . Didn't mean anything , just us gear heads bouncing ideas around . I'm sure you know what I mean .
Crickets, I can't remember when I last saw him on here
Over three years ago.
how old is this truck?
