gas tank relocation?

Hey guys im going to be relocating my gas tank out back in my 1949 F1. My question is this, what needs to be done and what is needed to do this? Ive heard that a 1970 mustang tank will fit but im not sure so a basic parts list and how to would be great. Thanks

here is a drawing showing a way to mount a tank with no modifications to the frame. You can build the tank from Aluminum or Stainless.

Check my gallery for pics of a Mustang tank going in a '57. I really like it but need to finish the gas door.
