Got to work on the fuel cell mounting a little. It's gonna fit, but it sure is tight. 2" of body lift and it'll clear and fit entirely under the bed - using the channel that the rear body mounts bolt to as room to plumb the fuel lines!
Our original angle iron mount idea was a good thought, just not quite right. We're cutting it off and going back with a different bracket that will bolt to the bottom of the frame just like the stock tank, but you can see that we made it to fit the contour of the bottom of the frame.
I've still got some grinding and cleaning to do on it, but it won't be much more work and she'll be bolted on and ready to be plumbed up upergrin:
Here are some pics of it - the cell is not pushed all the way down into the box we built in the pics :error:.
