When I parted out an '88 Suburban into my truck, I thought it would be a good idea to lose the saddle tank and get a 40 gallon tank with the in tank pump that worked with the fuel injection. The only problem was there was no way to fit the Suburban tank behind the axle on my shortbed truck. A friend of mine fabbed up this frame using the crossmembers from the Suburban to mount the tank above my rear axle. The skid plate from the suburban was even retained. He hasn't finished quite yet, for now there is just a hole sawzalled in the bed to fit around it (all the wood will be replaced with expanded metal grating soon) and there is going to be a pre-runner style spare tire rack built on top of/behind the tank frame. Anyway, here are the pics of how it is now. Tell me what you think. Thanks! Rich.
