So I've been considering replacing my current gas tank with a beer keg up against the back of the cab on the bed.

The truck has a custom steel flatbed and I'm going to build a new flatbed out of oak and go all out with aluminum strips in between boards, recessed tail lights, etc.

Any ideas on how to mount, instument the tank for fill/ fuel lines, etc.?

Just want to get some ideas, Thanks!

Lol idk that I would want that thing right behind my head. It's like cousin Eddy says. "I'm not going to sail down no hill with nothing between the ground and my brain but a piece of government plastic". Do you just like the look of the keg? There is a thread on 67-72chevytrucks on how to do it. I think a pair of stainless semi tanks under your flatbed would be cool.

I've always liked the look of a keg, but I might consider the tanks as well. I guess what I'm trying to do is just eliminate the ugly look of the factory tank underneath the truck and go with something more unique that would go well with the flatbed.

There is a flatbed square with semi tanks on it next to my house. I will get you some pics later.
