Re: 71 c10 Dropmembered Driver

I ordered an unwelded tank from boyd welding and welded it up.
I moved the mounting flanges the whole way to the bottom to move the tank up to get more ground clearance and I added some additional baffling to try to help fuel starvation under acceleration.
When I moved the tank up I had to cut the bed floor out and it ended up about flush with the floor.
The second picture is the ground clearance with the truck laid out.
I still plan on building wheel tubs and covering the center. I will probably leave the tank exposed and trim out the edges with some aluminum.
