Stock 2nd gastank?
 
Well ive been wanting to put in a speaker box behind my bench seat in the cab, but i really dont have the few hundred dollars for a kit. So i kinda just dropped the idea for awhile, untill i relized that i have another tank. On the passenger side theres a a place to fill up another tank. So i opened it up and discovered there really was a 2nd stank. My dad and i have never filled this up. But i was talking to him and he said that we would probably need to re-route the fuel lines to this tank. Then take out the one behind the seat.

anyone does this before? what things will i need to do? whats the estimated cost on doing this job?

Should not be a problem, I would first inspect that tank and clean it out. Other things to consider is that it does not have a sending unit, so you will not have a fuel gauge reading, and also, how many gallons is the second tank, if it is smaller, you will be stopping more often at gas stations....

Good Luck!!

ya im not exactly sure what the size of the 2nd gas tank... i heard it might be stock? Its the on the passenger side and theres a stainless square door that you open with a key then its right there.

Im trying to get some info on it to see if i should make it the primary tank or not... If its smaller i might just leave that one in there. But if its like 15+ gallons i will probl make it the primary and rip out the one behind the seat. Maybe this weekend me and a friend of mine can check it out and get this small project going.....

Now i just need to find a speaker box also. Anyone know of a plce where i can buy a box that will fit right there? seems like i would probly need to be something custom.

The side saddle gas tanks I've seen are in the range of 16-18gallon capacity.

Your tank sounds as though it is aftermarket.

You should look for a manual switching unit (often located between the driver's door and seat on the floor).
