How important is authenticity to you? How important is saving money? If you are in the Cleveland area, any Lake Erie boat shop can fabricate a tank identical to the size of the one to be replaced with the float hooked up to the gauge

About 200.00 as I recall. New tanks are about 400.00. The cuts are on the bottom. You have to remove the tank to tell. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 10 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 10 | I just replaced the fuel tank in 46' pick up with a reproduction tank from American Classic Truck Parts.
It needed a little adjustment of the flange corners and some slight grinding of the flange in places for a good fit but all in all it seems to be well made. I also had to drill an additional 1/2" hole in the bottom of the truck to accommodate a pipe port in the tank which would not allow the tank to lay flush on the floor. I'm pretty happy with it. About 375+ shipping. | | |
