    my 32 tank i got off ebay should be here soon i just want to see how you all are mounting them. i plan to mimic rear 32 frame horns if i can ever find the demensions of them. and make some sort of bolt on bracket to carry the tank. what do you all do to the body brackets on the stock bumber brackets? is it ok without them?

    i did a search and only came up with one or two pictures of brackets by themselves and one was for a box tube framed car.

    I bolted the tank and some rear '32 frame horns together and jacked it up into position. Then just connected the dots from A frame to '32 horn.
    Here are some so-so pictures.

    I got the horn cut offs cheap on ebay. There from ASC or some other aftermarket frame. It's kinda tough to get any decent measurements with the tank and covers on. Seems like a frame print from Westscotts would have everything you need to make them.
