Custom Gas Tanks

Hey im looking for ideas for a gas tank on my truck. Its an 86 SWB with a built 350 with around 430HP. It tears through 16 gals. of fuel far too quickly, so im looking for pics of people who have put burb tanks or big fuel cells. Post em if you got em!

I installed a Summit fuel cell using Jeff's (bigblock73) plans. No complaints so far!

If you're asking me, I have a stock gauge to use, just haven't installed it yet.

Deal just as long as you and Capt. Rusty Corners don't both want them done in a weekend. BTW I can do yours out of the shop up in Davis too probably so let me know. I know that'll be less of a drive.

LMAO, one more name for Toeshanks! It will be a while for me, a long while! Davis or Dallas, doesn't matter to me, I'd rather hang out in Dallas to be honest with you.

Ask him if he knows the difference between brushed and polished, then call him Billet Boy.

Dallas is cool as long as you don't make me go to Pappa's BBQ again....
