What are the dimensions of your fuel tank? I looked on the Mid-Fifty site but they don't provide and dimensions either.

Pete the deminsions on the fuel tank are 14 and 3/4 by 28 1/2 . I bought mine a while back and now they have one that fits the curve of the frame rails. Wish i would have waited. Had to level mine out with blocks.

That is perfect. Do you still have a part number or know the application?
