Re: Show me your 47-53 rear mounted gas tank.
Excellent workmanship! That is exactly the tank I just went out and measured for. Did you go with the 8,1/4" deep 16 gallon one?
Could you have left the original x-member in if you put the filler on the right side? Thanks for the pics.

Re: Show me your 47-53 rear mounted gas tank.
sorry, dont want to give bad info. I thought of using the 49 tank first.
I just checked and I actually went with the 1953-54 chevy extra capacity gas tank. it's the one in my pictures. Part number is 53-CG-ssx. from "Tanks" |

Re: Show me your 47-53 rear mounted gas tank.
I got rid of the cross member to raise it up as high
as possible. Hangs too low for my taste otherwise. Also added a 2" x 4" 1/4" thick wall cross member behind the tank for some crash protection. |

Crash protection, as much as possible, is really smart, esp. in this modern "distracted" driving world.
