just click on the thumbnails to see additional pictures..

this shows the final install and changes that we made, later we modified the tank again and installed a in tank fuel pump (after burning up 4 in line pumps)

Grizz- that tank is just like the original one I took out of my '65 'Burb. The cutout is for the spare tire.
