Spectra Premium

Spectra premium fuel tanks. Has anybody in our group delt with them they are out of Canada, and they make a 55 Ford F-100 Original tank. They also use a Corrosion resistant metal on their classic series with a full warranty. My truck falls under Classic! AJ

I bought a pair of their tanks for my 87 F250 project a couple years ago. Exactly like originals. Fit perfect. Good quality. I would buy them again.

Bought one for a project car and it looked OEM. I will buy that brand for my 70's truck.

I've bought a couple radiators from them, they were the most expensive option available for the cars I was shopping for in RockAuto. I'm very happy with how they held up as long as I had them

Okay for everybody’s info Spectra does not make a tank for my 1955 F-100 which would probably include the 1953,1954,and 1955. I didn’t check on the 1956. Really no,interest in that. I ended up ordering a tank and will have it treated to prevent rust on the inside surface.

You can get a top quality tank from Tanks, Inc direct from the manufacturer here. No need for extra coating or hassle. https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/p...rod/prd131.htm

Hey thank you for the posts. They wanted 80.00 fir shipping. I think I got a good deal free shipping. 226.00 the coating will be 140.00. Win lose or draw. I got my tank. That's the best thing. Holiday coming up so that will delay things. Probably ship next Wednesday or Thursday. Did get all my parts, need to route my electrical. Removed the old fuel line. What a mess. Really needed to do this. Really a cobbed up job, who ever was wrenching on my truck for the previous owner. Really sad all the things I've found. AJ
