Has anyone used this tank? Boyd's Aluminum Fuel Tank - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey y'all, was curious if anyone has used this tank on their builds? I like that the pump is in the tank so the pump will stay cool. They say it'll fit but you never know.

Did you get the one with pump inside the tank? If so how's that?
As far as fitment, was it a simple fit or need a bunch of modifications?

I have one with out the pump in the tank in my 66 and it is a nice fit and a pretty simple install. It needs the spare tire brace removed but that has to go for all the rear tanks. I have a second one sitting here on the floor that will go in soon. It has the in tank pump and like everything else Boyd welding does its a nice piece. Got the rest of the fittings in today for the efi install.

Ditto what Jimmy said.
I also have the external pump and it's not loud at all( Pierburg)

I have that tank. I haven't run it yet, but it's been installed for a few years now. Had to remove one small crossmember which was no biggie. I welded nuts to my frame that the tank bolts to, so it's easy to drop the tank once the bed is on. Seems like a very high quality unit.

I have this tank in my '66. Pump in tank, pretty simple effort to install it. I've got about 600 miles since I put it in and I'm quite happy with it. I've never spent a millisecond regretting the decision to buy one.

Have you contacted Boyds Welding about this issue?
