Re: My '59 Apache

Howard, are you speaking of the original gas tank? or when you say,"in back of the cab?" If you're talking about the original which goes behind the seat, then I've never done that, but I would have to say, make sure the area has good integrity(no rust), you sender switch wire I believe comes up through the floor through a grommet, also your fuel line comes up in the same area. I would guess if your gas neck isn't secured down somehow, you'd have that out, the put it into place once the gas tank it set down in its new home(the floor), then the gas neck and vent hose can be put on~ maybe a little spray silicone to help it slide on. I would guess there are some straps that hold it into place? Mine didn't have straps, it was just sitting on the floor un-retained. But we don't want our gas tanks flopping around!

Is this what you were asking about? If it's about installing a tank in "back of the cab", where the spare tire goes, that's what I did.
i'll be back~
