Agreed I wish I had a good cab to start with. Although if I started with a clean cab my OCD would make me get a nice paint job and make everything perfect. then i would constantly be worried about getting a dent or scratch on it. Lucky my cab was rusty so I don't mind If I bash it off a tree in the woods.

Mustang 22gal. tank seems to be what guys have been mounting in the rear.
But I don't like having to carry my spare tire in the bed. As I use to have a 8' c/o camper and kept the tire under the rear.
I have seen a few trucks mount the spare tire with what looked like a bronco rear swing tire swing out arm an latching onto the tailgate. Looks kind of red neck with the big tire on the back of an 8 ft.bed.

The mustang gas tank is a very popular one to swap in. They come in 16 gallon 20 gallon and 22 Gallon sizes depending on the year. Also there has been people that used scout tanks and bronco II tanks. And I might be thinking of something else but I think I remember seeing someone use a suburban tank as well.
