Has anyone tried to mount a 34 gal tank where the 26 gal tank is?

When I did my fuel level sending unit I wondered the same thing. Crawl under and have a look...just ahead of the tank you'll see a nice round crossmember going from one side to the other. If that wasn't there...probably wouldn't be an issue but I would seriously doubt it would fit.

I can think of a few ways to change the cross members mind!!!!!

THe factory 34 wont fit on the short beds. YOu'd have to go aftermarket as I understand it.

I had them side by side when I did the frame swap from long bed to short bed when I rebuilt my truck. There is ABSOLUTELY no way. The cross member, mounting points, differential clearance and general shape is wrong. If it was possible, I would have done it instead of paying $250 for a smaller tank.

It is however possible to add another 15 gallons under a crew cab. (see my garage for pics.)

no way to interchange them. well, not very cheaply or without cutting up something.

Either run a Titan tank, a Transfer flow bed tank or go with your own custom setup in there bed like I did. Check my garage for my setup.
