HAY GUYS I KNOW ITS BEEN COVERER BEFORE BUT I CANT FIND IT ANYWAY IM RELOCATING THE GAS TANK TO THE REAR OF A 52 F1 DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT TANK WILL WORK OUT OF THE WRECKING YARD OR ANY ADVICE

 

I'm going with a mustang tank, I think.

Some good reading here: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Adapting Major Components of 1948 to 1960 Ford Trucks - Ford Trucks

 

79 bronco tank is what I'm planning on using in my 56 pickup, I used a 73 blazer in my 56 panel

 

i put a mustang tank in my 52. I think its 22 or 24 gallons. I have some pictures in my gallery. I moved one of the frame crossmembers to make it fit. Works good.

 

I'm doing a frame swap from a 1998 Ranger and the gas tank is 20 gallons (ext cab). I believe the fuel lines at 5/16 but you would need to upgrade the pump if you've got a lot of HP. The driver's side shock would have to be relocated from forward facing to axle to rear facing. Since the frame span from left to right is about the same as my 1950 F1 it should fit between the left frame and the driveshaft of the original frame. Also the front crossmember may have to be modified. The tank is plasic, so it will clean out with soap and water - I know this. Just get measurements at the yard first.

 

sounds good what year mustang tank what cross member

 

I have a 52 F-1 and got my tank from "Tanks Inc." It's a universal one which I mounted under the bed. Fabbed the frame around it and bolted that to the frame of the truck. The filler tube is flush with the bed floor when it was done.

 

Here's what it looks like done.

 

ZOOT, what fill cap assembly did you use?

 

It came from Tanks Inc. with tank itself. You can either a threaded bung or a regular twist type for any of their thanks. I don't have there web address in front of me, but just google tanks inc and I'm sure you'll find it.

 

TANKS Inc. gas tanks for street rods, muscle cars, custom cars and trucks

 

1995 chevy van, 22 gallon tank.

 

That looks like a very good fit, thanks for that info, looks like a better fit than the Bronco

 

I used a new 22 gal 1970 mustang tank in my 51 F1 & i got it from rockauto for about $100

 

THANKS GUYS THIS REALLY HELPED ALOT NOW I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM BEHIND ME AGAIN THANKS
