Ryan, I personally,never cared for the gas tank riding "shotgun" with me,
I don't believe it is a safe place(IMO-alot of people will disagree)for a tank.
:2cents:
I do plan on Bucket seats and think it will look better without it and also had those parts avalible from my parts truck.So to me,it is the best upgrade--necessary--probaly not :thup:

PS--also plan on getting dimensions of a cab tool box and making one(my buddy has a nice woodworking shop)out of Oak :D

Installed a new set of lifters and push rods on number one cylinder(i know it actualy a repair) I consider it a mod as it was probably this way when i bought it.

Now with all eight its a rocket.
