Re: 53-Gas Tank/Crossmember/Boxed Frame/Parking Brake installed

The tank is for a 73-81 jimmy measurements 28 1/4 - 28 1/4 - 11, 25 gallon tank ordered from LMC catalog. In the catalog it shows the bottom of the tank to look the same all the way around but it does have a little angle on one side of it because in the jimmy the tank fill was right in front of the back tail lights on the fender side mount. Once the rollpan is installed you wont see the angle on the side I believe the angle should be to the rearend, but only about an 1 1/2 inch should be showing worst case rotate it and relocate the filler in the tank and put it back in. I didnt know the tank had a small angle on one end of it the catalogs shows to be square all the way around but no biggie really. Should have the IFS in the first of next month with the air bags and all the goodies, notching the rear this weekeng getting ready for the 9-inch with disc going in with air bags/shocks/swaybar, still waiting on the air tanks to get in and put between the crossmember and frame. As far as the bed goes I'm not going to put those wood blocks in will take a measurement of the height needed and take some 2-2 sqaure tubing, weld a plate on one end center drill a hole and weld a nut on the inside of the end, and put a piece of square rubber in between for the anti-noise something like the cab mount rubber.
