Ok I got my tank mounted. I used a '84 Bronco 2 tank. It is a carbed tank so it will have just a single pickup and no return. I mounted it behind the rear axle where it would go in a b2.
I made a crossmember.for the front out of some square tube I had laying around. I bolted it to the frame where the front of the tank will sit. I then drilled 2 hole holes and welded 2 long bolts through the holes. I fit the tank again and welded a piece of angle iron on the back of the crossmember so the lip of the tank hits it and holds it down
I had to rebend the tank straps (I got them from a b2) and move the strap mounts on my frame.
