highboy aft axel fuel tank
I just replaced my cab and have decided not to place the fuel tank back in the cab. I want to put the fuel tank behind the axel where the spare tire should be but I am wondering if anyone knows of a company that sells them. or dimentions of any that anyone has built. I have a company that will build one but they wont be able to start it till after the first of the year and I am hoping to have it in by Thanksgiving
Thanks in advance for any info or sugestions

I am sure somebody will chime in on a board sponsor that sells fuel tanks. However, I am not one of them. I would recommend doing a search on Google, and start from there. If your truck is a 4x4, you will be hard pressed to find a factory reproduction tank to go there. If you are a 2wd, any junkyard truck will have the tank and the necessary hardware you will need. Use caution when buying the tank, you should hold your breath untill you find one that is perfect, with no rust. Depending on where you live, that might be tough, but you can get a good used tank for cheaper than reproduction.

Actually the 78-79 tank won't work either. The frame width on the highboys is narrower than on the 78-79's. Aerotanks is your only aftermarket option. Some people have swapped in mustang tanks, ranger tanks or even tanks from a super camper special. I think I'm going to try and turn a 78-79 bronco tank sideways and then make my own filler neck.
