'56 F100 Ally Fuel Tank

Now you may appreciate that over here in England, building an F100 is very difficult as all the goodies are over in the US.
I am making my own front clip, laser cut and boxed with st/steel arms and Jaguar rotors etc. Front tilt is from Fairlane and many bits from Mid-Fifty shipped over in a crate at megabucks cost, engine is 351W.
Next I need to plan the fuel cell rear of the Jag rear axle.
Question: Does anybody have dimensional plans they could e-mail me to save a bit of work? I would be gratefull for any help or tips any Rodders would like to pass on.
My not very up to date website is www.rbtrucking.co.uk. which also has an e-mail link.
Thanks in advance and a Happy and Interesting 2007

PS Don't tell me the steering is on the wrong side, it's yours that is wrong

Geez, I thought I was the only guy who went off the deep end like this. I have a great deal of respect for you for tackling such a huge project. :)

Thanks, I often wonder myself but surely somebody must have built a fuel tank and drew a plan!!!!!!!!
You guys over there are not very forthcoming with info for us poor Brits, I usually only get one reply to my questions, I know it is mostly encouragement but I do need a few answers "we're all in the same truck together".

I used a fuel cell in both my last hotrods. I tucked them between the frame rails behind the rear end. I didn't care for the tank being in the cab with me.
Nice project and

Don't be bashful. If you don't get responses, keep bumping your thread to the top until you do. :)

Thanks Richard here we go again. Charlie, I certainly would not have my fuel in the cab hence the rear mount cell. I don't suppose you had to make yours but I am afraid I do as the "off the shelf" is over 3000miles away. Perhaps in the US you don't have to make them hence my lack of responce? obviously the US manufacturers don't offer help, understandably.
I realise it is not difficult but all things added together=time.
Thanks guys.
