I'm looking for the no.# 2 cross sill that goes over the tank. It has a "hump" in it to clear the tank. I need to know the correct year so I can go look for one. My 52 has TWO tanks...one behind the seat and one under the bed...both stock tanks. :confused:

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

What size '52 pick-up are you working with? Size might matter when talking about the frame braces for fuel tanks.
As OleBlue said, '47.5-'48 pick-ups and all 47.5-55.5 1/2 ton suburbans and panel trucks had fuel tanks between the frame (passenger side, forward of the rear axle). The suburban/panel trucks have two frame braces that go over the tank (maybe someone else knows if the 47.5-48 pickup had the same braces).

The tank in the back is stock,but when I got the truck,it didn't have the cross sills.a'regular' sill won't work in that area of the gas tank w/o modification. | | |
