The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Gas Tank Cover??

Okay,

I will be pulling my steering column and seats this weekend. When strategizing last night it looked like at one point that there was a cover at one time that went over the gas tank behind my seats.

Are gas tank covers made or will this be something I need to fabricate?

Thanks,
Chris

I cannot see in the assembly manual where a cover existed originally behind the seat but I do know that one is available aftermarket but it is more for street rod applications. I think Rod Doors supplies one. If you are using the stock seat though it may not matter as you can't get back there anyway. If you have a non-original seating setup then a cover would be the ticket if you have the tank located in the cab still.

Thank Houston54,

My truck is a streetrod, all original except for the 283, steering column and seats. I am putting in late 90's s-10 bench later this weekend and I will search for the aftermarket cover.

Thanks,
Chris

Go to Roddoors.com. They have it for $179. If you have removed the tank as I have this opens up scads of storage space but their cover will not work well in that situation. I plan to insulation and cover with short pile carpet up the back to the belt line. Send me some pics when you get the seat in. I have not decided which way to go on that subject yet.
Good Luck

Roddoors has two types of covers. One for the original in-cab tank and one for the aftermarket swaps.
