gas tank swap_thought
Has anybody thought about using a tank out of a G-series van? I was looking at mine and it looks like it would fit. What do yall think?

Re: gas tank swap_thought
or how about one from a early 80's F150. rear tank of course. I have a used rusty one that I am using as a mock-up for the stepside. I just need to graft a GM sender on the ford hanger.

Re: gas tank swap_thought
I`ve always been afraid to use a Ford part on my GMs.I guess it`s the bad apple theory.I`d like to know about the van tanks,too.I have an`86 Suburban I want to take the tank from.

Re: gas tank swap_thought
nice thing about the van tank if it will fit is that the filler is plumbed for drivers side already

Re: gas tank swap_thought
I used a Jeep CJ tank on my 66 4x4 I used to own. It was a pretty good fit although the Jeep sending unit caused the gas gauge to work backwards. The gauge was accurate, it just worked backwards. In my case E meant enough and F meant you were Fu............ well you get the point. When I sold it I gave the new owner this info AFTER I was paid.
