[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1364780, member: 15940"] So after some reasearch I have come to the conclusion this is a 1st gen shortbox frame which has the shortest tank of them all. So I talked with Sam and gave the options. [LIST=1] [*]Use the stock tank and run a frame mounted pump. The issue with this is if the tank was ever damaged trying to sourch that particular tank is not an easy task/not very common. [*]Get another tank and modify the mounts to fit it. [/LIST]So after talking with Sam I decided to dump the stock tank and we would get another 1st/2nd gen EFI tank. Well after a bunch of measurements and looking at it I came to the conclusion the stock cross member will have to go away no matter what tank we go with because of the hieght of the tank on the back side. So since I have to go to that much work I decided we might as well use the tank Sam had gotten (1" longer than 1st/2nd gen EFi tank). So I started by firing off the sawzall and removing the cross member. [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album27/sam127.jpg[/IMG] I chose to leave a portion on the drivers side since the exhaust is hung from it. [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album27/sam128.jpg[/IMG] So I got the tank mocked up in place and got the front side modded to fit the tank. I had to make 1 3/8" spacers and this will let the tank fit snug against the cab. I will have to put a small dent in the cab near the sender but it should be good. [IMG]http://rdsd.com/albums/album27/sam129.jpg[/IMG] So I am now working on the back mount. [/QUOTE]
