Re: new fuel tank options?
They calculated out to be about 17 gallons. The hung below the body too much, too tall. I think (when I get around to it) I can do better and more capacity. I not for certain but I think they was put on by the original owner, around 1964 or later.

Yes that could be an problem but my truck runs high off the ground meaning it an 3/4 ton with ten leafsprings .

Re: new fuel tank options?
James ,
if your truck was an 63 Chevy I could call you "Bond, James Bond " ..... JK ... I dont see in your picture(s) the bottoms dragging off to the ground or anything but I read you had the (yellow pine wood ?) failing to hold the tanks or something ? Is there an way ( I'm sure there is ) to fasten them to a frame with a little fab ? Are yours plastic , alum , ? How much do you want for them :-) Dazzman |

They are steel tanks. The picture show both tanks bottom being held in place with two straps across the bottom (see attached picture). The straps has rods that run up to the wood floor in the bed. You can see the tank are hand made, referencing the welds. This weekend I'll get them out of storage and take some pictures and post it here.
If you still want them after I post the pictures, you only need to pay the freight. The attached picture is about 4 years old (when I first look at the truck) and the truck bottom now look a 1000% better. The tanks that I want to have will be attached to the frame, but I do not know when I will get that far along. :happyGMC: |
Re: new fuel tank options?
OK that so far looks good - like they are not so far toward the ground but I will see your pics to determine that .
Mine were steel on my 67 Dodge camper truck , had no problems . One thing is where do you gas up ? My 67 had them popping up at the tire tread , facing the tread toward the front of the tire . make sense ? That was a great spot because you didn't have to make / cut doors in the fender . I wonder if yours can be fabbed that way ..... |
