Center Mounted Fuel Tank?

[68ls1]

Has anyone attempted to mount fuel tank in center of chassis?

A few of our tray/utilities have tanks mounted in this location. See attached pics











Is there enough room?

I would like to use the area behind axle for hidden hitch and exhaust to exit at rear of truck.

thanks Roger

I'd have to measure to be sure, but I think the trucks you're looking at have much wider frames, so there's more room for tanks inside the frame rails.

The 73-up Chevy trucks had saddle tanks, with the tanks mounted on the outside of the frame rails, but the media claimed they were a time bomb. I've had saddle tanks on the 76 and 78 trucks, and aftermarket saddles on my 70, and none of them blew up, but you never know.

With stock ride height, that may be possible with a leaf spring truck. If its a trailing arm truck, you'd probably be looking at raising the bed floor to make it work.
