'52 Chevy Pickup - Gas tanks and Brake Boosters
 

1952 chevy 5 window pickup truck .... it's got a second gen Camaro subframe w/disc brakes up front.

i'm slowly getting things back together .... just sat the cab back onto the frame this weekend.

question regarding:

Gas Tank - i want to mount a tank under the bed, with the filler tube coming up into the bed. i know that alot of you guys have done this ... what tank to use? 15 gallon or so? i'll be running a 350/turbo 350 setup.

Power Brake Booster - i've got disc brakes up front, but the truck did not have a power brake booster installed. i'd like to add one and was considering an 8 in version. any problems with this plan? i could potentially add discs to the rear someday, but not yet.

thanks

bill

Hey Bill, I don't know if this will help or not but we used a tank from CPP. I really wasn't to pleased with it because it was supposed to be a bolt in unit but we had to modify it. Also our plan it build a filler that works from the fender area. I think it is around 19 gallons if I remember right. the first two pictures are off the tank we put in there and the third is of a truck that I found this weekend at a local show. I think he told me that his tank was a S10 tank.
