Re: Suggestions - 66 SWB SS Fuel Tank Replacement

CDN,

If you want a stainless tank, Rick's Hot Rod Shop makes a nice one for our trucks. I put one in my 65 short fleet with fuel injection pump. You just have to remove the spare tire carrier. It doesn't hang very low (16 gal), it is difficult to see without crawling under the truck. Doesn't block my aluminum diff. cover. I used a fuel cell snout opening in the side of the bed and fabricated a filler tube to the tank.

The vent mounts between the bed and the fender on the passenger side. I had Rick's put in two fuel level senders, one for the stock guage and one for the computer. Here are some pics.

It is a nice solution but not a cheap one.
