Re: gas tanks

I think this may be one of the most asked questions on this forum, of course 2nd after the "what kind of wheel"......... post.

Here is a search I did that should provide hours of surfing enjoyment!

Re: gas tanks

I just installed one from classicperformance, it's made of aluminum, mounts perfect under the bed where the spare tire was. it is a little pricey, but should be worth it in the long run. P.S They run these kits on ebay for less.

Re: gas tanks

I made mine. I used 12 ga. mild steel. I will try to add a drawing. I had a local shop break and shear for me. I used exhaust tubing for the inlet. I stick welded the seams and brazed the fittings. It cost me $75.00 for the material and the break and shear. It goes under the bed where the spare could go.
