Check out mid-fifty, they show one that is outside the frame for a pickup.

It's a 'Saddle Bag' petrol tank w/ its own Special Hangers for securing it into place that was only used w/ the Panel Deliveries.

I believe that the tank is on the inside of the frame rails on a panel or at least it is on my 56's frame or maybe I should go back out and check.
p.s. I'm sorry for bringing this subject back up I was just browsing.

From the info out of my FoMoCo books, it seems that all Panels had the "Saddle Bag" petrol tanks that hung on the inside of the frame rails.

Panel Gas Tank
I have a '55 panel that could use a new tank. Would that company be interested in building another tank?
