Gas tank

I picked up a 1969 C-20 for cheap only to find the gas tank was contaminated. No proplem i have a parts truck but the neck is not in the center at all. It is against the door side of the hole. How do you center this up????

Re: Gas tank

Mine did the same thing. I used washers to center it up. I bent the mounting hole closest to the drivers side, and then used washers to fully align it.

Hopes this helps.
