Fuel tank out of truck pics please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I searched but I could not find... Does anyone have some pics of the fuel tank removed from the cab? I'm replaceing mine with an aftermarket fuel cell and want to see what it looks like with the tank out so I can see possible mounting of the new tank.

I only have these. My fuel tank is in the back of the truck under the bed.

Not a very good picture but it shows just how little space their is between the seats and the back of the cab.

Here are a couple of pictures of the storage/speaker box I built to go where my tank used to sit;

Are there tank mounts that need/should be removed? The fuel cell I ordered is 7"deep and 30" long. I'm thinkin about makin a sub box to put next to it.

On my cab the base the tank sits on is bolted to the floor and spot-welded to the back wall of the cab.

Here are a few closeups. I hope they help. You can remove the fuel tank mounting saddles, to make a nice smooth rear floorboard. That is my friend Lee, hard at work.

Are you putting an aftermarket fuel tank inside the cab where the original was?
