Funny how much smaller it looks after you cut the back off.

yep they are both propane tanks,it did have a long range petrol tank to,but it has a 302 cleveland v8 in it,which will be getting stroked down the track and im going to run it str8 propane,with the tray set up theres plenty of room under neath for tanks, so will probably get 2 new ones fitted running length wise

looking good geofro,u can always have bike corner to corner,or have tail gate down,lol

haha,was waiting for a bezel comment with the 45 rear window in mine

thats looking good geofro,im tempted to cut the back out of one of my shells and make a removable body tub,but it will be a pain with the gas tanks,so will stick to a tray for now,looking forward to seeing how yours comes out though

mate that look s awsome,is it black,i got given a glossy ford black which was going to be used on an xb sedan,was trying to decide weather to paint my extra cab black or use it on the 40,leaning towards the 40 as the beige has grown on me,but im likely to paint it black anyways,nice job,hmmmmm tray or removable style side
