Need to replace it (as well as the sending unit) but my catalogues offer tanks for the smaller trucks. Where would be a good place to start looking? Thanks. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .

If rusty, how bad? I refurbished the tank on my '48 2t and it had a lot of pin holes on the frame side of the tank. I cleaned up the outside and used gas tank epoxy to cover all the holes and then I got Eastwood's gas tank cleaner/sealer kit and the thing is (so far) not leaking anywhere.

I thought a used one of the same age would probably be questionable, if I could find one. Guess I'll go the rehab route, was hoping to find a repro to save time...thanks guys. | | |
