an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
| | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Looks like a AD Panel/Suburban gas tank to me & would almost bet that they are the same as what it shows in the picture.

martinsr: where did you find that tank? refurbished or a new one?? I'm sorry Chip, I should have made that clear. This is not MY tank at all. MNSmith was nice enough to give me a link to his truck photos when I asked on another thread about 47-48 gas tanks. (Click here) . I did get an NOS one on ebay though. It looks darn nice being "new". But it does have a few dents I need to fix. I think this is a suburban tank, which from what I understand is the same as a pickup. I hope so because my tank looks just like this one! Brian
