I am looking for pics of bobbed 55s for ideas. (yes I searched and only came up wth two pics).

Also-what do most people do for a gas tank when the 55 is bobbed ?

Thanks
 
I'd try to make the stock tank work due to the shallowness. I used a tank from a 90's Chebby S-10. The tank is a 20 gal. & hangs *too deep if you were to place it between the frame rails as is. The overall width & depth is a perfect fit though. The filler tube is on the wrong side as well. I cut the frame (where the upward curve stops at the front of the rear wheelwell), flipped, braced & rewelded it for a better departure angle. I cut & rebraced the rear crossmember, relocated a filler tube, & built a skid cage. The tank sits about 2" below the floorboard. It was a good bit of work but the *best option I thought for gaining ground clearance & packaging the tank in there.
