A mod won't move it if he doesn't see it. That's why the report post button works great!

Don't worry...I already reported it.

so this is a 77 highboy frame with a rear fuel tank? I assume it's a 19 gal. stock type tank. if I have it right , this is a combination that wont work . I have a '74 highboy with a '78 cab I mounted my 19 gal tank above the rear axle, and put it in sideways. It uses more fuel filler hose and takes some finess, but it's better than smelling gas in the cab.
