I also want to do this - need the leg room in the cab. Looks like this doesn't come with sending units etc - where are you guys picking up the extra pieces to the puzzle? Thanks in advance.

They will supply them, tell them what you have. Mine came with roll over valve, sender and cap.

IF you need a sender you can also contact Classic Instruments as this is where Boyd gets his stuff from. The tank fits awesome and I'm putting a second one in my daily driver now since I'm rebuilding the motor.

gimmy 64 · 01-05-2013, 07:21 PM

the tanks were designed for the 67-72 trucks but fit ours as well. they also give members a discount . best price out there.

**Captainfab** · 01-06-2013, 01:47 AM

If you need something different than the standard offering, I believe Dave Boyd can accomodate you. Give him a call or PM him here on the forum.....he is a forum Vendor.

If you are laying frame and raising the bed floor, you can mount the tank on top of the frame rails for extra clearance.

wayno · 01-09-2013, 01:20 PM

Pro-
Can you PM me a quote for the Porterbuilt Stage 2 Deluxe rear and a boyd tank with roll over valve (not sure if you can get a 30 ohm sending unit) - for my 1964 short bed step side shipped to 08085? Are there any known issues with clearances on the short bed with this tank? Thanks in advance.

**tazattitude** · 01-09-2013, 03:56 PM

CPP has a tank that fits between the rails.
The stock filler it offset. I relocated the filler in the center
