So it seems like a good time to change to a fuel tank that sits between the frame rails.

I have heard of people swapping to an early style Mustang fuel tank. This sounds great in theory, but i have not seen a lot of people who have actually done it.

So... people who have swapped to Mustang tanks...can you please share photos/ install suggestions? What did you do for a fill? I can fab mounting brackets, etc.

Thanks!

Tim, I don't have pics (I can get some) But I used a a tank bought from Leadmine Products on Ebay , it was listed as a 22 Gallon Cougar tank....basically a Mustang tank. I have a piece of 1/8" angle that spans front and rear and bolts as crossmebers in the frame. It was pretty easy to do. It does hang down further than what i would like but I don't think its really much worse than a Ramcharger style. I have a stepside and made a filler tube and it comes out at the side-rear of the bed, behind the tail light. I needed a new tank because I keep weight placement in mind and more importantly, I went fuel injection and quite frankly, modding the stock stuff was becoming a pain for the way I really wanted to do it.
