Re: What are my options here...

FRENCHBLUE72, Checkout what I did with my '57 gas tank at http://www.meyerbrosrods.com/photos/...picture77.aspx

I found this article http://www.classictrucks.com/tech/04...all/index.html

I measured my frame and found that I could follow this same approach. So, I fabbed up a bracket based on this article and moved my rear cross brace to the very back of the frame.
