I have one fabbed up for the tranny just need one for the gas tank. It's just begging for a hole in it.

 

ya the gas tank ones are a hard find

 

why not make one?

 

whats funny is im glad i have them on my truck but they do get to be a pita when trying to work on stuff underneath and there not light my anymeans i swear you could shave 3 seconds off your 1/4 time by removing them but i like them and there not going anywere

 

Well im not a great fabricator. I used a piece of 1/4in plate as a cross member and a thick aluminum Z71 skid plate to make the one for the tranny. I just figured it would be easier to get the one made for tha gas tank as it dont look too easy to make.

 

maybe try the wrecking yards near you most of them are taken off when they prep the truck to go out to the yard and there thowen in a pile so maybe call and see if you can go threw the pile and see if there is any there

 

Yeah try a junk yard I know my local yard takes off everything under the vehicle except for the axles. I have found a lot of stuff I needed just sitting in the back already unbolted. Ill sell you mine for 300.00 lol

 

I don't know about the 2004 since it was redesigned but 2001-87 all use the same exact skid plates, gas tank, front diff, transfercase. The 1st Gens are al over the junkyards now days.

 

I read somewhere that the 04 Quad cabs had a larger full tank or maybe it was just Quad cabs in general than the other models. Lol Ramguy, take zero off that and it's a deal.

 

My price has been reduced to 30.00 for the skid plate, Shipping is 270.00 lol and yeah the quad cabs have a 24 gal tank most have 22 gal and some are 15. Though I think the newer ones did away with 15 for 18 gal. I would bet they all would fit no matter what tank you have that way dodge didnt have to make 3 different skids.
