i'm pretty sure it's made by summit. my cousin has that one mounted in his 58. the main problem with that particular tank is the top seal leaks like crasy. if your going to go with a custom tank go with some type of metal. there is a member on this board that makes them and he is very reasonable. i beleive he goes by fuelcellguy.

It holds 16 gallons and has a sender. I think it came from summit I bought it used at super chevy for 65.00 with straps! I bought a extension so it will have a regular style cap just below my aluminum trap door in the bed floor!

RCI makes Summits fuel cells. They have replacement seals for the tanks if you happen to get a leaker.
