Well I hauled the tank home tonight for a trial fit. It is all tacked together except for the bottom panel. That was intentional so I could test fit the fuel sender. I wasn't sure if the sender arm would clear the baffles and it didn't. I had to put a bit of a notch in the right hand wall of the baffle. The tank plugged the hole just fine though and there are no fitment issues.

Looking at the fuel pickup underneath. The plate with the fuel bungs needs to be welded up yet.

Looking inside the tank at the baffles and fuel drain holes to the pick up sump. The baffle closest to us is the one I had to put a small notch into.

Here you can see the cover panel with the fuel sender in place.

The tank fits so Jesse can finish the welding. I will make the filler panels at the back of the floor and hopefully get the left front wheel well rebuilt next week. I took next week off so I plan to hit the van hard.
Thanks for looking
