Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
I will try to get in on the Spring '11 GB, also. Just to be certain, these tanks will fit a '66 LWB. I read this thread end to end, but I can't remember if I read that or not.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
I finally got my tank!!! It took over a month and a half, but it is finally here. Just a note to other future group buyers. Plan ahead, because they seem to get pretty backed up during the group buys. Mine took a little longer because Dave said that he overlooked my order. I'm a little disappointed because I requested 1/4" NPT fittings on my tank and it wasn't done, nor did I get a response to my E-mail requesting them. I thought that I may earn a special request since I was so patient with him overlooking my order, but I guess not. Other than that the tank looks great.

Since you are building mine late, is there any way to ask for a special request? Rather than having 3/8" NPT fittings for the fuel in/out, can I have 1/4" NPT? I already bought 1/4" NPT fittings for my fuel lines because I swear I read a post from another member saying that you used 1/4" NPT on your tanks. If not, do you have any 90 degree 3/8" NPT to 1/4" NPT adapters available? Also, do you have any plugs for the "drain" on the EFI tank that you could throw in there?

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
Dave, has anyone adapted one of these into a 73-87? I might be interested in another EFI tank for my 78 soon.
Edit: NVM I scrolled up to post 332 ![]() Any mods to make it fit that frame? I see the mounting brackets are different.

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
Hey Dave, what kind price difference is there during the group buy? Is it the 10% you quoted above? I'm interested in a non-efi, 90 degree feeder w/ sending unit. Thanks
Also, my mechanical fuel pump will work fine, correct?

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
I know the group buy is on the way but the truck has the bed off right now and is on the lift while I am doing the disc swap. Now is just the perfect time to do this swap. Gonna call Monday and get one built or on the way.
Jimmy

Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank
I have a question on the safety vent. Would the hose barb on the safety vent be used for the fill vent hose on a side fill? If I fill the tank and the fill hose gets full of fuel such that the fuel level is higher than the top of the tank does the fuel safety vent leak?
Will the fill vent hose connected to the safety vent hose barb allow air into the tank as the fuel gets used? Also, my electric fuel level gauge came with a 200-34 ohm sender (i'm pretty sure I got that right). Would the price of my tank be less since I don't need the 0-90 ohm sender? Anxiously awaiting the group buy!! Mel |
