Re: How many still have stock tank in place?

Make mine good ole 69.i have heard many reasons for keeping the original but what really surprised me is i never read the reasons that i enjoy it the in cab tank.first off i love to hear the fuel sloshing around when driving,i like it when i see the old fuel gauge moving around on a corner.these are the things that bring back memories when i was driving trucks when they were only a few years old and the reson i like them today.besides why change a good thing.

Re: How many still have stock tank in place?

Guess I'm 77 (Sunset Strip - remember that TV show?).

I've replaced the gasket, neck, hose and lock - but everything's still stock.

Re: How many still have stock tank in place?

Mine's still stock behind the seat. I absolutely love it there but it's more a love for the original design and nostalgia than anything. Had it originally been under the bed I'd have kept it there for the same reason.

I don't buy these old trucks to cut them up. I do it because it's a bit of history that I can own. It's not like they're still making an unlimited supply, ya know? IDK, that's just my feeling on it.
