65 Coronet AWB gas tank

[shopguy]

In doing an AWB on a 65 Coronet HT,

1) What is the position of the stock gas tank when done? Does it move forward and modify the filler tube OR, keep the stock location? any have picts?

2) If i don't do a full 10" move...maybe do 8"...is if possible to keep the back seat (diminshed leg room OK). I want to cart my kids around!

thanks

It stays in the stock location.

Have a look at your existing back seat floor space then envision 8"-10" disappearing. The lower rear bench will pretty much be touching the back of the front seat I think.

Even at 8in. you'll loose all of your leg room.Go the 15in. like the factory stuff it'll look just wrong if you don't.

what do you do? lengthen the strap? or make a new front attach point (slot)?

Before doing that,I,d put a fuel cell in it!Safety concerns.
