moving gas tank

My nephew tells me I should move the gas tank in my 1967 f100. Does anybody know what is required to do that or has anybody done that to there truck?

If you use the search tool abve your post you will find this has been addressed and alot of good ideas on how to do it. Myself I will leave mine inside where it has been for 43 years without a problem. My truck has been turned over on its top once and T-boned once hard enough to send the side pocket out the other side, but the tank has never been a problem. Can't say what would of happened if I had saddle tanks or a rear tank when the bed was hit that hard. Just my $.02 worth.

Welcome to FTE!!.

Another member posting topic within past few days seem to recall feedback and number of suggestions. Believe a member moved the tank and posted pic's. Another member post pic's where he routed fuel inlet thru the top of the bed rail on styleside pickup. Thought it look cool; although, only one suggestion would be to recess inlet below bed rail level and install a door. Came across this article in Truck magazine where they used a Mustang tank and relocated the inlet. Imagine any tank would work, if get serious suggest take measurements and search for size tank that meet the application. Saw quite a few fuel tanks in couple Ford truck parts catalogs, National Parts Depot (NPD), has quite a selections. Anyhow, suggest the search and here is the web site of the article may provide some suggestions.
