Fuel Tanks

Post by ford4x4fun »

Ok got a question about fuel tanks. I have the in cab one that I can move to the bed, similar to what kieth did on one of his trucks. But I was also looking at aftermarket tanks, ones that bolt under the bed and was wondering if anyone had any info on these or pictures of there set-ups.

The only bolt-in application for a rear axle gas tank that I have found is this one http://www.rickshotrodshop.com/truck.htm It's a custom made tank and you do not need to relocate the rear cross member. I called to get a price and the wanted $900! Pretty pricey, you can make a few different tanks fit with some creative thinking or make your own for under $500. This custom tank is a 20 gal tank and there is an option for in-tank fuel pump. This is the info I've found. :2cents:

Yeah that is pricey, I have a few tanks sitting around Dad's place that I might try to do something with. But I wanted to see some ideas too!
