I'm in tail end of the gathering and planning stage for my '46 2 ton to get 'road ready' this spring.

Really all i've got left up in the air is what to do with the fuel tank.

My original fuel tank was just fine, but I stole it to use in the '46 1/2 ton and have since sold that.. I had two other tanks out of a '39 and a '40 that were good, but at the time, I didn't have an immediate need for the tanks as much as I did for the money I was offered.

Long story short, I got a '46 2 ton with no gas tank.. and while I guess I could go buy a whole other complete truck just to get another tank, i've been kicking around the idea of putting one of those 'big truck' style gas tanks on.

The plan is to put a flatbed on the truck.. and I was thinking something like a 30 or 40 gallon 'round' tank under the bed behind the cab on the passenger side would look alright.

Anybody do one up like that? Thoughts? Opinions?


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
