Fuel tank ????

Hey everyone.I have a 79 F250 Supercab 4x4 and I am in need of a front midship fuel tank.I can't seem to find one and I was wondering if the 2x4 reg cab tank will fit without major mods.If so,what needs to be done?

I recently bought a new rear tank so I don't want to buy the 38 Gal for the rear....

Anybody have any sug.?

Thanks,John

I have a mid plastic tank out of a 1979 F-350 4X4 REGULAR CAB in my back yard with the mounting if it will work for you. Send me a private message and we'll discuss it. Maybe to far to drive?

Why are you parting it out, armstrong? I'd love to have the truck! Save the F350s!

Already Parted Out 1 Year Ago. Bad Frame. Only Thing Left Is Gas Tank, Couple Drive Shafts, Title With Serial #.

With and without evap emission, before and after serial numbers...blame it on CA emissions. My 11/88 book shows one p/n for a 78/79 S/C mid tank with evap.(see above post). It makes no mention of a non evap mid tank for 1979.
