The super is looking SUPER! Wow. Thanks for the SPID pic, I'm a SPID freak. Really looking nice, love all the stuff you're doing with it. Interesting looking saddle tanks - any info on that thing?

El Dorado Jim · 01-13-2017, 12:04 AM

These are original tanks that I found locally. A guy here has a huge garage full of parts. He pulled them off a junker and had them for sale. My truck originally had saddle tanks made by "Travel Tanks" but they were removed and tossed when the truck was repainted. The control valve and the gauge switch were still there so I made them functional again. I put floats in the tanks and connected them to the switch on the dash. I have a total capacity of 52 gallons including the factory tank. I moved the filler necks to the wheel wells so that I would not have to cut the side of the bed out.

I have the travel tanks on mine, haven't seen ones like you have...pretty cool..really love your truck!!!

Thanks Jim. The travel tanks were installed in mine originally but as I was saying before, they got tossed at some point. I was fortunate enough to find these babies at a guys shop. They are factory originals and fit the truck perfectly. Here are a few pics of the tank and the original set up. Note the 3 position switch on the left side of the dash cluster and the original crossover valve plate from the floor next to the seat.

AASmedic · 01-13-2017, 06:31 PM

Heres a couple more.

-The passenger side tank after I relocated the filler neck, installed the sending unit and painted.
-The driver side tank installed
-The new crossover valve and floor plate.

**jocko** · 01-13-2017, 06:22 PM

thanks, those are a good fit. Shame a po tossed the travel tanks - what did you do to move the filler neck? cut/fill/reposition? Good choice, I'm not a fan of the aux doors either. I've got a set of wheelwell tanks I'm waiting to refurbish for someday.

I unsoldered the original necks, cut new holes and resoldered after trial fit. Capped and soldered old holes then had tanks vat cleaned and rust-proffed.

Wow, that's an absolutely gorgeous truck.

Very nice truck- 2" lift looks good! Did they do a good job on the repaint? (in the pics it looks good- just curious)

They did a good job. I especially like that they put a rough surface on the lower blue to resist rock chips. BTW, nice truck as well.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-15-2017, 06:00 PM

Truck looks great! Where did you get the kick panel speaker panels and how well did they fit?

Thanks. I purchased the kick panels from classic industries. After some minor trimming, I got them to fit really nice. I painted them with an original paint code rattle can from NAPA paints.

Thank you!
