Post subject: | Custom 150 Fuel Tank |
I have a question about the stock fuel tank on my 77. Firstly, does anyone have a clue where I can get one? I have looked all over in Texas, but they are all dry rotted or cracked. I have a after-market summit fuel cell mounted in the back, but fuel sending unit is bad. Would like to get the tank back under the bed. Any help out there? |

The original tank was missing when truck came into my possession. Thanks for all the links. I'm in North Texas. |

If you could get a broken/bad OEM one out of the boneyard, you would have the dimensions and might be able to get a replacement non-OEM or fab something- just a thought. |

I need to replace the sending unit on a couple of my trucks also,if you can find out the part #,some may still be available from dealerships or at least they were when I last checked a few years ago. Auto Meter does have a universal sending unit for about $40,it would have to be modified just a bit but should be easy on plastic tanks. |
