High Boy Cab Gas Tank Mounts

Does anybody have a junk High Boy cab they can cut the gas tank mounting strip out of? I found a near perfect 2WD cab that I want to completely restore/paint before I take apart my daily driver '77 F-250 High Boy, and I need to weld the tank mounting bracket strip in first.

The only factory fuel tank for High Boys is the in-cab tank.

Yes Bill, That's why I need to weld the mounting strip into my non-High Boy replacement cab.
If this gets too complicated to find, I may consider building a custom tank to fit between the frame rails at the back. I have an F-350 Super Camper Special tank there now, but it's only about 19 gallons. Way too small to be used by itself. It sure would be nice to have the space behind the seat available for other things!

can you post some pics of your scs gas tank in the highboy? I have a spare cab and chassis tank which appears to be close to the scs tank. I want to put it in my highboy. Thanks
