No prob.....I'm proud of that mod cuz it turned out pretty good. Door is from a 80's or 90's Old's 98 and I grabbed the solenoid as well. I have a button behind the License plate that "pops" it open. Pretty easy to do.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a bunch SactoJim. Why the angled corners on the tank though? Square corners would have given you bigger capacity??

That looks so awesome. Did you build the tank yourself? Would it fit LWB also? Your truck looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My pleasure...The chamfers are to give a little more exhaust clearance if you're running pipes all the way out the back.
