Those are exactly the same tanks I have. I was just a little incredulous about hanging all that weight on two bolts but it obviously has worked well for you. Side topic, did you coat the inside of the tanks or treat them in any way? I've heard of something called Kreem or something like that is supposed to work well. Also, it does not appear as though these tanks have any type of sending units. Were they plumbed as secondaries to the main tank or how did you know when they were getting low (other than obvious)?

Thanks for the replies! Way cool to see this coming from Sweden, our trucks truly have global appeal!
