My 79 F350 2wd has a narrow (34") frame, steel midship tank, and plastic rear tank. The rear tank is protected(?) by steel plates. FWIW

That's right. I currently have the plastic rear tank from the SCS that he parted out. It's not under the truck but I did mock it up and it does fit but requires moving a couple crossmembers around. My stock crosmembers even have the mounting holes for the straps already. Unfortunately, the fuel sender for that tank is unavailable. I modified one from an '84 Bronco II for it.

Yep, that is right. I did forget about the super camper specials stock tank that would fit the Highboys.

Any of you guys have dual tank beds on your highboys and if so, are you making any sort of auxillary fuel tank?
