I also used the mustang tank however there are a few others on here who have used a van tank & bronco you can just about put anything as long as the measurements are OK. There is also a page that was on the forum that listed radiators, fuel tanks, steering columns and some other items that would fit these old trucks. When I get home I'll check the URL I have it downloaded on my lap top. You may be able to search for it its "Old trucks never die" I think.

I assume you might want to run an inside the tank pump with the LS2, is that correct? If so the Mustang may not work for you without modification since the fuel sending unit location is in the front lower section. It could be welded up. If you use an in-tank fuel pump you might be better off with a custom tank that includes the pump or else plan to modify whatever you use.

And you are using a LS2 engine, that according to cyber space is;
The LS2 crate engine comes complete with a composite intake manifold; electronically controlled 90 mm throttle body, fuel rail injectors.

I used a tank out of an 84 s-10 blazer on my 50f1 with a 350 TPI. Why did you have to lift the cab to use the LS. Look in my gallery for the pics on the gas tank install. RUSTY

I used the tank in my 50. I double checked all the measurements of the tank before i ordered it. It did fit. I would make your own measurements when making the frame. I used theirs for the first frame I made, then used my own for the second one, the second one being the only one that will fit my truck. I definitely learned from my mistake there...fortunately it wasn't an expensive mistake.
