nobodys got any ideas?
dang, i dont know what kind of tank to put there but i was thinkin about between the frame rails behind the rear end maybe.

 

mines a ad pickup but i just bought a 15gal rci aluminum fuel cell from summit it came with a gm sender.works for me.it just depends on how much you want to spend.theres bolt in stainless tanks ,cells and guys doing junkyard tanks.take your pick..........................dave

 

Brothers trucks sells a good one with a sender for the stock gauges, mounts in the rear behind the axle. Worth every penny!

 

you can use a 55-57 chevy car one with alittle tinkering....was going that route then went Fuel Cell

 

you mean,like this?

There are several sources for under the bed tanks for the 55059 trucks. No Limit, Brothers, etc. I would suggest using a 16 gallon universal tank from Tanks Inc. I used one in my 54 and plan on using one on the 59 when I get to that point. Can't beat the price. The one I have is a bed floor fill but I believe they have a side file as well.

 

I like the one from Tanks Inc.

 

I used one from a 1984 cutlas it will fit in between the frame rails at rear of the truck. I used the flip down tag from the cutlas except I flipped it upside down so the tag flipped up over the gas nozzle when filling.
