Boyd tank install
I need some help, i cant seem to get my head wrapped around what is needed to install my Boyd tank.
it will be going in my 70. I bought the carburated tank, product number 14001. Bed fill 2" (center). I will be using an Attwood 2" deck fill. P/N 66411-1. This is the only 2" filler I could find. 1/2" NPT Vent. I plan to use a motorcyle vent. 3/8" NPT Return. I plan to plug. 3/8" NPT draw. What is this? Is this were the fuel line to the pump connects? It will come with the sending unit. This is where the tan wire for the guage and the ground will contect.

Do you have the bed on your truck? When I mounted mine my bed was off of the truck, made it easy to install. With the bed on the truck it will be a challenge to install. |

Re: Boyd tank install
Yes the bed is on and I do not plan on removing. Don't worry, everything i do is a challenge. Is the draw on the bottom of the tank or does the draw come out of the sending unit?

Re: Boyd tank install
Haven't installed a tank back there, but I had my bed off in about 20 minutes last time I tried by myself. I'd lift it out of the way, and do everything the easy way, then drop it back on.

Re: Boyd tank install
I also purchased and installed a tank from Boyds. I got a new sending unit and a rollover vent from him also. I ran 3/8 stainless tubing from the tank to the fuel pump. Try to get some pics when I get home..

Re: Boyd tank install
I would like to see what some of you used for filler cover, installed in the bed of the truck.

Re: Boyd tank install
I got this door for my bed fill non-efi tank. I haven't put it in yet, but it seems really nice.
