wow, that is redneck, I'm sure someone with the right information will chime in.
pretty much everything thats welded to your frame looks foreign. the beam under the tank, gone, pieces welded from frame straight down, gone, those angled pieces 'braces' I guess, gone.

Didnt know if that gas tank plastic liner was stock cuz it looks like its held on by the hitch deal, but wasnt sure.

The first pic is the left side, but not on the right pic.

here's what mine looks like so cut off anything that doesn't match. Ideally use a grinder to cut into the weld till you can knock the square tube loose but you could probably just cut straight across the tube as close as possible to the original body.

Looks like a partial gas tank skid has been started for you!!! Cut close to the frame on the tubing and grind down any extra off after the tubing is removed.
