78 F150 where to put the bottle

I was thinking behind the seat what do you guys think, if this is ok while I am redoing the interior should I run any wires or tubing under the carpet before I install it???

you need to set the valve to the front the truck if there room for it why not myself im in the bed with mind

I haapen to own a 83 F100 with 408w behind the seat would be okay if you seat will accomadate it? If not what about the side corners behind the seat? Or under the frame rail. I asume you wanting to hide it? Are cut the foam out behind the seat that where I mounted my high dollar amp at. You don't have crewcab? Or rear seats I mean

it would be a lot safer with the bottle in the bed , If you put it in the cab make sure you change the fitting for the blow off disc and a blow off tube adapter installed and a blow off tube to the exterior

I put mine behind the seat in my 78 F150 and it worked fine. You don't have to get out to turn it on, and nobody see's it, are the benifits. Bottle not facing foward is the supposed drawback, but did not seem to cause any problems.

Good Info

Bottle don't have to be pointing forward, as long as pickup tube it orientated properly.

Or stand it up behind the seat.

I'd put it in the bed...I wouldn't want a bomb under my ass  

My vote is the bed, besides I don't have room anywhere else  

If this truck will see any street use I wouldn't put the bottle in the bed.

I mounted a bottle this way too behind the pass seat in a Ranchero I had. Made it easy to hide on the street just by throwing a jacket over it.

X2. If there's enough room behind a truck's pass seat to stand the bottle up, this IMO is the best way to mount a bottle in a truck.

Placed it behind the seat on my 78 F250... it's a street legal pulling truck with a regular cab and flatbed so I wasn't crazy about the idea of a bed mount.
