Larger Fuel Tank
Okay I got like a 20-21 gallon fuel tank and would like to have at least the 30+ gallon one.
Who makes these? Or are they some from latter model vehicles that would be a drop in fit? Thanks for any advise you can give.

Re: Larger Fuel Tank
Yeah I would love to have a 40 gallon tank but may settle on a 30+ gallon unit.
Keep those suggestions coming......

Re: Larger Fuel Tank
I put a 40 gal out of a '73 Suburban in my '71. I had to modify the filler tube and make brackets to hold the '73 straps,also I made wood blocks that screw into the floor and the tank rests against them.

Re: Larger Fuel Tank
PM sent.
So would I have to do some mods like Faster57 did to make it fit correctly if I bought this from you? Thanks everyone for your help so far.
