Heck it's still September. Regardless - I like it!. A couple questions? 1) Gas tank - where, how, etc. 2) Wheel wells 3) Rear of the frame - chop it and box it? But again. NICE! troutbum 09-27-2002, 08:55 AM Fuel cell,I will run it in the bed for now, but most likely drop it to the bottom of the frame rails which will leave about 4-5 inches in the bed. The wheel wells are going to be tubbed. As for the frame, http://www.rachwilkins.com/scout/framepostcut.jpg RustoleumWhite 09-27-2002, 09:14 AM what cell you planning on using?? Custom or like a Summit unit.... anyone on know of some other cell's to check out?? I looked through my Summit catalog and their site... and didn't really find what I was looking for. Thinking something in the 30-gal range. Long and skinny.... Mechanos 09-27-2002, 09:47 AM Originally posted by RustoleumWhite what cell you planning on using??

I saw a thread a while back where he made a garhugegemous fuel cell for some guy so he could drive all the way across Utah without having to stop for fuel. If you can weld leak-free joints, it shouldn't be that hard to fab one up. RustoleumWhite 09-27-2002, 10:18 AM Originally posted by TORC Might get ahold of Bob Roggy.

If I could find a buddy with a Tig...... I'd just build it my self. now to decide... SS or allum.... :D IH Diesel Power 09-27-2002, 10:26 AM Originally posted by RustoleumWhite what cell you planning on using??

With that little of a bed when your finished and wheel tubs a spare tire will be hard to fit back there with a fuel cell at normal level in the bed. Again NICE!!! | |
