patch panel for gas tank

Does anyone know if someone makes a patch panel for gas tank hole? I removed the tank this past weekend and want to seal the hole up in my ’64 F250.

Home depot and Lowes have small sheets of metal in the hardware isle. 18 guage is what the cab is stamped from.

I use pieces trimmed from spare doors or whatever i have laying around.

The piece will need to be metal worked as it is a compound curve area. ballpien does a good job on this.

If you want to cheat, the F600 and heavier trucks with saddle tanks have a rubber plug, that is available from an outfit in Ohio....... I got one for my F250 for about $7. TomD

Green Sales in Cincinnati, OH...... 1-800-543-4959, call them with part # B7QH9080A. It cost me $7, plus $5 shipping....... genuine Ford NOS part, even! It is black rubber, that may not be some folks' cup of tea. I got this number from another of our fellow members (unfortunately, I cannot remember who, but "thanks"!!!!!) TomD
