Re: 1978 Vking
That was going to be my next question. LoL If you were going to put/build a rear bench around it or not.

Re: 1978 Vking
I did a little math and this one came out to 20 gallons. It was in the boat when I got it and it. Im going to change up the filler hole so its straight up and down and slap a new sending unit in it.
Then build a read bench frame around it like the old one was. The low part of the tank is under the seat. Thats the plan anyways.

Re: 1978 Vking
That's my next conundrum to solve. Fitting a tank with a large enough capacity for 40 mile river runs, but still having a rear bench seat in my Viper.
RJ, when you get a chance, could you tell me how much space you have between the floor and the bottom trim of the splashwell? Thanks bud.
