Honestly, I've never seen these tanks until I was given the 71 3/4 ton (Custom/20). There was one on each side under the bed in front of the rear tires. I still have the other, here's a pic......

*Randy70C-10* · 05-23-2005, 09:04 PM

Oh, thanks for the nice comments guys!! (That's what keeps me motivated)

70 shorty · 05-23-2005, 10:28 PM

Ok, since you're not going to be finished in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to have to find a reason (read that as need to come over for more parts) to come down to your place again. Looking good BTW. Of course a 70 shortstep always does!

BLAZERMAN · 05-23-2005, 11:27 PM

Looking GOOD! I like the stance, is that a Model A in the background in the 2nd pic?

chickenwing · 05-23-2005, 11:52 PM

I have never saw a tank like that either... A guy could write a book on just gas tanks for these trucks...

pulling it out of the garage always counts as progress. Good Job!

I wish my ride was drivable, legal or not.

Looks good though.

Naaaa, I had a Model A coupe with a 6:71 blown 350 but I got rid of it last year, needed a family car. That's my family car

(1930 Chevy 2 door sedan)

86swb · 05-24-2005, 06:50 AM

You have a good wife. Better hang onto her.

My wife is understanding but looks like your wife-well-a 1930 Chevy family car? Wow

67-Cowboy · 05-24-2005, 10:55 AM

That tank looks like the after market everybody use to use on their 1 ton flat-beds. Nice to see your truck coming along, front end looks great !

TheRedRooster · 05-24-2005, 03:38 PM

Ooouuuuuuuuhhhhhhh. I am the biggest HATER on the face of the planet right now. Damn thats a cool truck.

*Randy70C-10* · 05-24-2005, 09:18 PM

Thanks guys!!

The reason my wife is so understanding is because this is "her" truck.

**special-K** · 05-24-2005, 09:27 PM

Glad to see it`s gettin`closer.Hope you can keep on it.

*Randy70C-10* · 05-24-2005, 09:30 PM

I hope that time permits, I try to squeeze in every spare minute on it that I get. I just got an in-line fuel filter tonight. (buying parts counts too doesn't it?)

dubie · 05-25-2005, 09:22 AM
