Re: rock auto gas tank?

I renewed my old tank because I wanted to save it if I could. I go with original parts whenever possible as a matter of course and that was an original part.

I also didn't know if the spectre tanks were perfect fits and I knew my old tank certainly was.

To the original poster: if money if the main factor, and spectre tanks fit as the above-member has promised, then a spectre tank will be the better choice.

I absolutely agree with what you said.. I should have clarified about the condition of my tank when I got it from the P.O.. If the tank did not have small holes and poor attempts to fix them I prob would have cleaned the tank and tried to sealed it.. Original is the way to go all day long but in my situation a new in the cab tank for sure was the way to go.. Fuel headaches are no flaming joke

Re: rock auto gas tank?

Of course you agree Scottcoda, because great minds like ours think alike.

My tank had flash rust was all. The radiator shop owner told me my "tank was much better than most he gets in there."

Once I get some repairs to my house caught up I hope to get back on to my truck's fuel system. Once those new lines are (finally) in I can put the tank back in, followed by the seat, the cab to frame bushings, bleed the brakes, but the new radiator in, and it's off to the DMV for a license.

So Scott, you have a long wheel base stepside? Those are so cool!
