Re: Old Yeller my build 56 GMC

The tank and filler neck is from "Tanks" . The tank is for a 55 chevy coup . There is other tanks that might work better , When I ordered it if it didn't work I would use it for my 55 coup. The upper straps I glued some pieces of a tow strap to it . Had to get an adaptor made for the filler it was to big. I got that done at a muffler shop. He didn't charge me anything for it. I know where3 I will get my exhaust done.
The filler door I had to curl the top edge up a little. and at the back bend it in a little to make the curve.
I had to install a vent line in the tank. At least with a metal tank I can soldier it. For the bottom straps I welded the nuts to the frame rails to make it easer to get off later on. I did notch the frame for the filler pipe. I think you could get buy without doing that.
Had to cut the back sill to get the roll pan to fit for the lic plate.
Next is to sand, sand and more sanding.
