    I think the main concern would be if the chassis points that the tank mounts to are different from a 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton. I have no idea if there is a difference but might get lucky and the bigger tank will just bolt in.

    Good luck--I just hope I can find someone knowledgable.

    Hello Bismarck2--- would that make me Bismarck1??? or is it that--Bisamarck2-- is named after the battle ship and not the capital city of the great state of ND???
    anyway, I would find a big tank truck and get permission to slide underneath and measure everything and compare notes. The long beds got the larger tank than the short boxes [in 2002 ]so it might be a length fit problem.
