Ok here we go.. The aluminum is treadplate .105 at its thinnest, this is the size (from my research) that most tanks are made of. The baffles will really give it its strength. The measurements are posted prior. I started welding the tub today.
I was wondering if anyone had a spare sending unit from a truck or runner. I have one, but its in my runner and I don't want to remove it for mockup. I would give one back in return, after I make the change.
Anyway some pics

Next is to make the baffles, and figure where my fill, pickup/return and vent are gonna be placed. I want to hook it up to my existing fill spout/cap, so I will use fuel safe 2" hose. I will make a neck for the tank to connect the hose.
Should I use foam, on the bottom ?
Anything I am missing ?
