Got the Gas Tank installed yesterday. Bought some 1 1/2x1/2 C channel for brackets to hang the tank. Welded some 3/8 nuts to the channel and mounted them on frame cross members. Bent the straps that were included with the tank and drilled them for 3/8 bolts. Used some vinyl bathtub tape to cushion between the tank and the straps. Worked out pretty well. Decided to go ahead and run the filler out the top through the bed. Been done hundreds of times before by smarter folks than me so should work okay.
Bought a 4x4 sheet of 18 gauge metal to do the patching on the cab and the fenders. Going to mount the cab solid today so I can start replacing the floor. This will test my fabrication and welding abilities.
I think yesterday was the last nice day before the cold part of fall sets in. Will try to get as much done on the floors before I have to move inside.
