Here's another way....
I'm not sure who designed this (Grandfather or father) but both '62 Overlanders have the same set-up.
A 3.5" x 12" x 5.5' galvanized tank was fabricated at the local sheet metal shop. On the dump side of the TT a 1.25" valve was installed and a 5/8" inlet at the top edge. On the street side and on top was a 1/2" overflow tube. This was mounted underneath and in front of the rear bumper using 1/4" angle iron bolted to the frame, 4 bolts and 2 3/8" strap steel to serve as a u-bolt (so to speak) to hold the tank firmly against the frame. To get the grey water from TT to tank, a hose fitting was installed in the fry pan dump-valve lid. A piece of hose to connect the two and you got it. Tank (dry) weight was about 20lbs. give or take. If you empty it before hitting the road, water weight really isn't an issue. Back in the '60's and '70's alot of parks (State Parks in particular) didn't have sewer hook-ups and grey water on the ground was a big no-no. Oscar
