Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 201 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 201 | I want to install an underbed gastank for my 54 chevy 3100. Soon I want to mount it to a 1964 Chevy Frame. What would be a good tank to use? Is there one I can get from a donor vehicle that will fit nicely? or would I have to get a new one? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | You may want to ask this in the 60-66 Forum. Most of us are creature of habit and go to the same places and seldom look elsewhere.

| | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 219 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 219 | I am right now in the process of installing a tank from 83/87 subaru not sure witch model i picked it up about 5 years ago and now the tank shop is closed so i am unable to find out for sure.It fit's nicely up in the spare tire pocket and has the one wire sending unit. Only thing i don't like is that it will show from the rear below the bumper. I guess i will go with it for now and keep an eye out for something better.

I had to slightly massage the seams which stick out an inch or so but no leaks so all is well. It has fuel pickup in the top and a side mounted neck which I will run out to the fender. So think about chevelles, etc in that year bracket. Problem is first things most yard do is punching holes in tanks for insurance purposes.
