Mustang Fuel Tank Install
22 gal. tank. It's tight but it fits and doesn't rub anywhere. Nuts are welded into the inside of the square tubing. All mounting nuts are welded to truck frame for easy installation. Fuel tank is mounted above lower frame lip instead of below like all of the others that I have seen.

To clearance the underside contour of the rear-most part of the bed the removed truck crossmember must be slightly modified and re-installed upside down. I welded mounting nuts to the inside of the rear crossmember for easy installation because it's a PITA to get your hand and a wrench up inside the frame to bolt the crossmember back in. I will be finishing the tank install this weekend. I have a real sano idea for the fuel door in the rear of the bed.

is that a long bed or short and how do you bolt the box on there is two bolts that use the rear crossmember to bolt thru from under the bed that are not accessable from the top inside of bed and can you show the front area where the fuel line and float assy is (view). Very nice set up kinda curious as to the filler hole setup is going to be done.

As to your question about the rear bed bolts, the crossmember that used to run between the rear leaf spring mounts is now relocated all the way to the rear of the frame. It has been slightly modified and is installed upside-down to accomodate the contour of the underside of the rear of the bed.

Nuts will be welded to the inside of the frame rails so all of the bolts will go in from the outside. There is enough room, the bolts just can't be too long.
