Unfortunately, my search for such tanks has yielded nothing but exhaustion. Street rodders want to sell me a 400 dollar generic pro street version which will occupy my spare tire space.
Any ideas where I might be able to spot a decent one I can have cleaned/dipped with the original support straps and hardware?

The 1 1/2'' then flares to 2'' and connects to the tank under the passenger side between the rails, in front of the rear axle and tucked up into the frame. Yes I cut the diagonal reinforcing sheet piece. It's 10''x11''x34''. holds 16 gallons. universal gas tank @ :: http://www.chassisengineeringinc.com/page86.html http://discountgastanks.com/?session=ad03defaf3f02a84dfe450ed7a354dce

big wheel fires by the grace of god,
everytime that wheel turns round,
bound to cover just a little more ground.
