I have had to trim the lip on the tank. Just be careful not to get into the pinch weld on the edge. On some installs I have had to get into the pinch weld and then tig weld the lip back together and leak check it. I have found that on some chassis with the after market rear cross spring crossmember that the Vintigue tank is a better fit as they have the pinch weld closer to the tank and it is easier to trim.
