To free up the room behind the seat, I've been considering building (ok, having built) a box in the bed, just large enough to hold the gas tank (standing upright the way it is behind the seat), with a lift up lid to access the filler spout and a locking gas cap for peace of mind. Think of a "between the bed rails" diamond plate toolbox, 8.5" deep by 65" wide by 18" tall, standing upright. Minimal work to re-route the fuel lines and electrical, Plus you get to keep your sending unit, you only lose 8.5" of bed space, and my spare can stay hanging underneath out of the way. I would leave the original filler neck in the cab, and just cap it off inside, to retain the original look of my truck.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a plan. There is someone on the boards that has done it. I can't remember who or where but he has pictures in his gallery. He uses it for an auxilary tank I believe. Looks good. I've been considering doing it myself for an extra aux. tank. BTW, nice truck you have there.

 

DD,

Thanks... I hope whoever it is will find this topic and post, I'd like to see how it looks. There is a nice green truck on here, the owner put the gas tank in the bed and put a hard cover on the bed.
