Seems like a bad idea to me. If you had a long box I'd say maybe, but in a short box, you're asking for issues.

You would have to use a deck that would be reaching forward from the support to the front of the deck (like a full lotus in long bed mode, except the legs would be on top of the wheelwells) but then you'd have what, 3 feet of bed left to actually support the deck before you hit the tailgate??? no way.

Of the decks I sell & have sold, none of them would work in this configuration. Never dealt with custom or marathon though.


Get rid of the sally little short bed & buy a real truck!!!

Ya i got rid of the idea know i am building a 4ft wide,4ftlong, 1ft tall aluminum slip tank it will sit under the deck no problem. it will be about to haul about 420L too so should be good. There is no way i can get rid of my short box thoughs long boxes look goofy!!! LOL

Keep in mind which deck you're going to get before you build the tank, they all fit a bit different.

Let me guess, that short bed has spark plugs too huh????

Do you want the tank for your truck or for fueling sleds, moto's, etc?

If it is for your truck, you might look into TitanTanks and just get a bigger tank for the vehicle itself and leave all that bedspace open.
