55 F100 Gas Tank Removal
This weekend I would like to remove my orginal gas tank and since this will be my first experience, is there anything in particular that I need to be aware of? It appears to be a simple process but I know that sometimes what appears simple can be misleading. Thanks for any tips.

I got my new tank from LMC, I had thought about going with the plastic tank but then decided since the diff in price was only 20 bucks I'd go with the metal tank. Be sure to get new straps and rubber when you order your tank, I tried to reuse the old straps and someone told me to get new ones because they were easier to work with.

Thanks for the tip regarding the straps. I will be sure to order a set along with new mounting hardware. My straps and hardware look like they have seen their better days. In-fact, I shot some PB Blaster on the bolts last night. I spoke with the nice folks at Mid-Fifties about their plastic tank and think I will go that route. Additionally it accepts the stock sending unit without needing an adapter. The only difference is that it is a 15 gal tank. No big deal..I like the idea that I will never have to worry about rust.

I am in the process of "trying" to remove my old gas tank. I removed the running boards with no problem at all however the bolts that hold the 2 running board braces are frozen. Do the braces need to be removed as well or do I just need to remove the 2 gas tank straps? Thanks.
