I'd stick with the stock location, much less trouble. All these old tanks can be fixed, just changing to rear tank will interfere with other things like spare tire etc.

Welcome bowtiedaddy,

I would agree that factory is the best way to avoid headaches. On the other hand, if you have the energy and no spare, then...why not? I would consider just having something made to your specs and fit it between the frame rails for protection....anyway, welcome to the stovebolt!

I've never seen any reason to move the tank, much better things to spend time and money on

Just installed the LMC Tank Kit to my 65 GMC build, and it just took about 1 1/2 hr to install and run new fuel line (steel) from the tank to the fuel pump. Didn't check on availibility for the 55, but I like the new tank instead of repaired one. Came with sender and straps.
