I can measure my tank when I get home tonight and let you know. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 507 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 507 | Donf, the tanks for the 37-46 1/2 tons were the same 15 gal. there was also a 18 gal tank available.

One comes out in the center of the tank, and the other comes out more to one side. Can't remember which is which without looking. Nothing a small holesaw can't fix. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,441 Moderator - The Electrical Bay | | Moderator - The Electrical Bay Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,441 | Donf, instead of replacing the original, why dont you mount one under the bed? out of the cab.
I'll be pulling my gas tank out of my 39 in the "future", you can have it if you want to pay the shipping charges. I dont know what kind of shape it is tho, as i've not looked under it.
Another quality post.

The reason for not relocating the tank is that I’m trying to keep my 39 as stock as possible. Given its current condition, that should be some task. Currently, I'm using a boat gas tank.
I appreciate your generous offer of the tank and will certainly take you up on it. You can see from my site that I have a way to go so time is not of the essence. http://wrangler.nmsu.edu/~donf/
Took a look at your site. Great looking 39 you put together.
