Gas Tank Idea - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I went to buy a car with my friend last night and while talking with the seller he mentioned that he had a 65 c10 in high school. While we were talking I mentioned that I moved my gas tank to the rear. It must have triggered something because he mentioned to me that a 75-79 F250 gas tank would fit right between the frame rails without mods and the tank would only sit about 2-3 inches below the frame. He mentioned that it was about 18 gallons. Just thought I would share and see if anyone has done this.

Time to visit Pick N Pull with a tape measure. You can't buy the tank there becuase they poke holes in them to drain the gas out. Also.. The sending units are 0-240 ohms I believe.

as long as its not a big whole they can be soldered up without any problems. I took it to a gas tank/ radiator shop and it was very cheap. I did that over 4 yrs ago and havent had any problems with it
