Re: 1962 Fuel Cell dimensions
Yea.. I have thought of that... probably will end up doing that, unless I find something better.

Re: 1962 Fuel Cell dimensions
[QUOTE=DaddyMack;3109987]Here are some pics of my progression and the finished install. I still need to get a new cross member for the rear.. it will have to be custom to go across the rails at rear, unless someone knows of one ready made?
cutting away cross member ![]() I purchased a 4" x 36" channel, custom cut and fit across the back to box in the rear, good protection for the tank. I will post some pics tomorrow. looks like your rear cross member under the tailgate is off a 63-66? the bolting points are inboard of the frame rails? A cross member like what I am talking about would solve your mounting issue for that.

If it was a '60-'62 rear sill these mounts would be on top of the frams rails. Not trying to be an a$$ just saying what I see. If you were to put a crossmember there as you are talking about, you could just bolt the rear sill to it like 62chevystep said also.

The cells have foam in the base to prevent fuel aeration and sloshing.

![]() Yep! The fuel cell is a rectangular box filled with foam to prevent the fuel from sloshing around too much. When you put gas in it you just put the gas pump nozzel right on the foam. ![]() ![]()

Re: 1962 Fuel Cell dimensions
Just a little FYI.....I've read that some guys have had issues with the foam breaking down after a while and causing problems with plugged filters and carb problems. I don't remember if it had to do with running race fuel, or just having the foam in the cell for a couple years or so.

Re: 1962 Fuel Cell dimensions
when you have the rear bumper on can you see the tank at all if you look at it from behind or does it sit flush in there so you dont see any tank hanging?

Re: 1962 Fuel Cell dimensions
Not really on mine. I had my tank custom made for me with my own plans I drew up. My tank is deeper in the front and shallower in the rear. Still holds 20 gallons.

Re: 1962 Fuel Cell dimensions
This one would probably hang down to low.
And at only 27 inches wide, I'd feel like I'm wasting 9" of space if it could be 36 inches wide for my 65 on a 62 frame. portland.craigslist.org/clc/pts/3487760429.html Posted via Mobile Device
