Just throwing ideas out there

Can I have a fuel take made for a F600 or such and have it in between the frame?

I was just trying to think of where I can put a fuel take and make the truck look like its just raised. In other words I was thinking of just using a 73-79 f250 body and putting it on the frame. The F600's I have seen dont look the same and I would like to make the truck look like a F2/350 as possible.

I know I will have huge tire/wheels butt the rest of the truck I want it to seem as if it just has a 6-8" lift or whatever size on it.

Maybe I could just mount a tank in the bed. Although the radiator might have to be back there also. I am trying to keep the bed with as minimal in it but I am not set on anything yet. What does everyone else think?

I'm getting 3 messages out of this, you want to mount a dentside body on an F600, you want a lifted truck, or you want a bigger fuel capacity, pick one and then ask the question....

I want a F600 that doesn't have the huge front end that makes it distinguishable to a F600.

I basically want a f250 that just looks like a f250 that has a suspension lift. All the newer F6/650's all have huge front sections and look nothing like the 350/450's. I was just trying to get rid of the fuel take steps or saddles and try and hide them like a normal F250/350.

So yes I also just want to mount a dentside body on a F600 truck. I know that regardless what I do the truck will look like it has a suspension lift at first glance.

Here is a chevy:

Now my ford can look like that, height wise, I will be happy. I dont want to have saddle tanks or a huge front grille just the clean F250 on a huge chassis. I hope this helps. Hard to explain what is my head.
