Has anyone taken the dual tanks on a crew cab and moved them forward to under the cab. I'm thinking of putting a flatbed on with boxes on the sides and don't really want to go to a suburban tank. Should just need to drill holes in the frame and move them forward right?

Do the crews have the indent in the bottom of the cab like regular cabs to even move the tanks up there or are the cab floors flat like a Burb or Blazer?

Been a long time since we had our 91 c3500 crew cab dually, but my belief is that the indentation is only below the rear bench seat.

And you want to go to the front seats with the tanks?

That was more or less the plan

I m thinking the floor isn't raise like it is in a single cab. I thought the CC had front floors like a Blazer or Burb......flat and that's why the tank went to the rear. But I've been wrong before.
