Gas Tanks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Bob B.** · 09-02-2006, 04:16 AM

I need a gas tank, and I am going with the stock in-cab tank. My original tank has been repaired, the outside is rusty, and someone had the filler neck off and soldered it back on an inch farther out than it should be (messy job, too). I looked at some of the aftermarket tanks, and it seems that some are from Taiwan, and some are from Canada. I measured exactly where the mounting holes are supposed to be, and it looks like the Taiwan tank was off A BUNCH. I doubt you could use it without re-drilling the holes. The neck was at the wrong angle, too. The Canadian tank looks real close. Anyone have any experience with these?
