Gas tank question
Hello. Does anyone know what material the fuel tank was made out of in the 1970 Econoline van series? Is that a steel or aluminum or alloy tank? Thank you for any insights. My welder needs to know. Yes tank pulled and cleaned 👍

All of the tanks I have ever seen on standard fords from the 60's and 70's have all been galvanized steel
