    Don, I usually make mine out of .060 7076 T6 aluminum... Tig them together, add a filler neck and a sender. They polish up real nice, too. Attach it to the frame with a couple of straps lined with rubber. Just my 2 cents worth.

    I have not heard of the term "Burp". What is a Burp. I have a s-10 gas tank but, it is only 13 gal. We would like to find one that is a little bigger. AS far as rear crossmember I have it removed. I am boxing & adding a x member.....thanks Don
