gas tank in the back
I have a 1952 Ford F1 1/2 ton pickup and want to move the gas tank to the back, behind the rear end.
Can anyone suggest a tank that's a relatively easy fit? The truck has a flatbed on it, and I'm also pondering the best way to route the filler tube.
Thanks

With a flatbed, you'll want the fill to be on the side. The Mustang tanks fill at the center, usually thru the bed. I remember seeing one install of a Mustang tank where the guy rigged a side fill and vent that was pretty slick.
A Chevy van tank or a Bronco tank are side fill. I chose a 78 Bronco 25 gallon tank and fill it from the driver rear fender.

Good luck.
