74 Dodge short box step side. I plan on running fuel injection. Who’s running a custom fuel tank under the bed between the frame rails. Looking for vendors, tank capacity and any other information, Any information is appreciated.

My driver's side under bed tank obstructed dual exhausts on my '79 W150. I didn't see any way to do it unless I ran side by side pipes on passenger side, which I didn't want. And, exhaust shop wouldn't do anything anyhow on driver's side because pipe would be too close to tank to be safe. So I'm just running off the in cab tank until I come up with a solution for outside tank.

There are plenty of rust bucket Ram Chargers out there available for parts. If you take your time and shop around you can probably find a fuel injected 92-93 like I did for near the price of a custom aluminum fuel tank. Plus you get the mounting cross members and a bunch of spare parts. I'm using mine for the MPI Magnum, HVAC, seats, dash, tilt column, intermittent wipers, power windows, locks and more to upgrade my crew.

I think you're right; I can probably find '92/'93 not too terribly far, just not anything much earlier. Florida has so much rain and dampness, these have disappeared from even the yards. But I'll have to find the time soon to search more for myself. He is in Arizona so ought to be a lot easier for him to find some in yards.

I got lucky and found a nice 2WD '93 RC down around Clearwater for $2K the only thing really bad about it was the roof rust. There won't be much of it going to waste because what I don't use my son will use on his W150.

I covered the parts car with a nice green in color car cover, but of course the HOA was up my a** in no-time. I understand if I was leaving it for a long time, but I wasn't. I was stripping it quickly and keeping it covered when not actively working on it.

That is why I won't buy a house where there is an HOA.
