Just depends on how much fuel you want to carry. Panel tank is on the small side as is. A cylinder with the same dimensions will hold noticeably less. Here's mine standing on end stripped, ready for paint
Panel truck tanks are mounted inboard of the frame rails.
Thanks Wayne. Another question (excuse my ignorance re panels)...I would guess that the underside of a panel is similar to a pickup as far as the "cab" and running board mounts go. Is there room between the frame and the rocker panel to mount a pickup style tank?
Simple answer, No. Pickup tank mounts upright, shaped like a slice of bread, panel tank is more like an oversized tootsie roll, mounts lengthwise. trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
I'm thing about looking at late model plastic tanks before I have one made. I'm running an early nineties Ford Ranger plastic tank in my '55 Studebaker daily driver. I drilled and cut new holes for a universal sender and mounted an aftermarket gauge under the dash.
I've heard that the F.G. repops are not very good.
The pair I have are the best ever made. American made NOS, Accurate (I actually used them for measurement and contours when straightening my metal ones) molds from a brand new metal set, full 1/4" thick street versions, not lightweight overseas versions, cured in molds, so no warpage, mounting bolt locations just dimpled never been drilled or mounted. Also have matching lower valance. I bought these when I first got my truck in case my metal ones were going to require a long time to straighten.
