Almost finished with mounting the fuel cell 
upergrin:
You can see in the pics how we cut the angle iron and bent it to match the contour of the frame. 5 bolts in each side to hold it on there and a strap to go over the top. The orange paint is to mark the holes to drill and tap.
2" of body lift will make it clear, but we'll probably go 2-1/2 to be safe. The pickup fits perfectly in the channel that the rear body mounts bolt to which buys the room to fit a 90 deg. AN fitting.
All we lack is tapping the frame now and then we'll plumb the fuel lines and brake lines. Now we gotta get back to work on that body so we can get it on the chassis!
For some reason my pic uploads failed - off to my b-day dinner with Jessica and I'll fix the pics later :party:
