I received a bunch of sheet metal for the cab and after tipping the cab on its firewall realized I still needed the rear inner cab corners. So here are some pics of what I am starting with.


Cab floor.



Driver's side inner corner.



Passenger side corner.



Driver's side front corner.



Passenger side front corner.



Closer shot of passenger side inner corner.

I am planning on using the 1970 Mustang 22 gallon kit from CJ Pony in my truck. I understand a frame is needed to attach the tank to the bottom of the truck frame. Just wondering if anyone else has done this and if you have any pointers to make the job easier. Thanks.

The bottom lip on the frame has to be ground down so the tank can slip in if you want to slide it in between the frame. I made a sub frame and mounted it below under the frame.

I understand the 22 gallon tank is taller and needs to be mounted underneath the frame.

I never tried, I just didn`t want to grind away on the inside of the lower frame rail. Also I think it`ll be easier to remove the tank if it needs to be later on.

You wouldn't by chance have photos of your tank install? Did you use the 22 gallon?

I`m not sure what size it is, think it`s from a 71 Mustang. I've already posted a picture.
