I think Trublufords was referring to:
1978 - 1989 Ford Bronco - Full Size 45 Gallons Extra-capacity Gas Tank Kit ZX976186NF $569.95
from JCW.
But I've had mixed results from JCW products over the years.

and 569.00 is a bit stiff for a fuel tank. Think I would fabricate something before spending that kind of money for a fuel tank.
I am doing a Mass air conversion on my 88 bronco if anyone is interested I will post them on my website (www.aephion.com) either in the forum section or I will make a new folder. I will keep you posted.

I could drive from Indianapolis, IN, to Springfield, MO, and another hour and a half south to Shell **** in my '79 (400 with a 33gal tank and aftermarket cruise control) at the 55mph speed limit. Ninety percent was I-70/I-40 and I think that cruise control made a big difference.

Your gas milage sucks man... 32 gallons at 300 miles is about 9.8 miles to the gallon. I can go about 500 miles on a full tank. You might wanna work out some of those issues.

I actually paid $1.77 today, if I'd gone down the road a couple more blocks it would've been $1.76.

IIRC, ubermich lives in DFW, where I live. average price around my house is about $1.80 too. I was in Waco (~120 mi. south of Dallas) a couple of weeks ago, and filled up the bronco for $1.66/gal (actually in West, TX - about 15mi. N of Waco). I was ecstatic :-)

I remember my uncle telling me about his GTO and gas being $0.09/gal I can't imagine filling up my truck for $2.88
And if you want specifics, I'm near Fort Worth. And yesterday evening the station down the street had it at $1.75, but I don't know if that will last...

Oh I know my gas mileage sucks. I the most I think I got was 350miles on a tank (about 11mpg) and that was pure highway.
I am building a new motor for it as we speak. Will have a 5.0HO motor with an e303 cam, Mass air/SEFI conversion, free breating exhaust, a bit more compression and more efficient heads (wedge heads ported w/1.94 1.65 valves). Most of the mods will just make the engine more efficient and my old motor has 216,000 original miles on it so it is tired.
Thinking with my combo I should get somewhere around 16-17 but I have heard tales of up to 20 with what I am doing (highway). BTW I have the AOD tranny in mine and cruises at 2200rpm at about 70mph...
500 miles on a tank would be acceptable for sure! Right now I can hardly get from here to Los Vegas (275 miles) where I do a lot of business.
