Need help asap
Having problems with removing a gas tank. I unbolted the straps in the front and disconnected the fuel sending unit. I tried to move it and it won't budge. What else holds this darn thing in. Need advice before tonight when i go back to work on the truck.

Re: Need help asap
Did you loosen the clamp at the filler neck?

Re: Need help asap
I just did this
 there are four small bolts on the bottom of the tank holding it down. I believe they are 1/2". Mine were covered in crud and very hard to see. They are also near impossible to get to. I think i'd kill myself if i had worked on an assembly line back in the day and had to install these four bolts all day.

Re: Need help asap
All my 63 has is the strap bolts and the filler neck clamps. I took the seat completely out, and it wasn't a bad job.
Good luck. Tim |

Re: Need help asap
I remember that my tank was stuck and I had to bump it to get it to pop out but it only had the two straps. 64 long/fleet.
