Pics of my gas tank back from powder coaters - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Yukon Jack** · 10-01-2003, 09:39 AM

Here are the finished pics of my gas tank. Finish looks great!

I was going to put a strip of rubber under the tank to insulate it from the bed but unfortunately I measured a little too close and there isn't room for the rubber under the tank. I will still put some on the back side of the tank where it sits against the headache rack.

The color is a silver metalic flake. The pics don't do the finish justice.

Hey Yukon-
Is Fuelcellguy doing tanks for between the framrails of our trucks too ? Do you know what he may charge for them? Just curious.
Your tank looks very nice.
Thanks Bowtiefreak

NICE TANK!!! After seeing this, it really makes me want to drop in a fuel cell

Now you and I just have to get our damn trucks back together Mark

How many gallons will that hold??? that is beautiful!!!

**Yukon Jack** · 10-01-2003, 11:05 AM

Should be 38 - 40 gallons, at least enough to get down the street to fill up for another mile!

BowTieFreak-

I've ordered one from FuelCellGuy. It was $325 + ship completed with hangers, sender, und filler. he's running a bit behind, but it should be completed soon. I chose the 8" deep one which holds about 18gallons.

I'd love to post pics, but it ain't here yet!!

Nice tank yukon.

I really like that tank. is that just a standard auto finish, or is it something different? I would love to have a tank like that, but just bought a 3 year old deweze bale bed and it has a orginal dew eze tool box which looks alot like your tank, but just extends under where the bale will sit.

Very nice, and would love to come down and see it sometime, even more now that i bought randy's truck.

I don't know the specifics on the powder coat they used, they just wanted to make sure I was using gasoline rather than diesel. You ought to try to make it to next years Ark City Last Run, good place to meet lots of board members.

You know, i grew up sort of close to Rose Hill. My dad ownes land in Butler county just west of Beaumont, and i grew up about 35 miles east of there. Next time i go home i ought to just look you up and check out that fine ride of yours.
