Hi, I need, pics how a Ford 1948-52 F1 gas tank is mounted in the cab. I`ll be useing one in my `32 Roadster and was wondering how the lower mounting works or if just stands on the floor.. Pics would help a lot TIA Michael
So does it rest on the two mounting ears at the bottom? What are the rubber bumpers for? A few pics would really help Michael
No pictures, I'm at work. But, the flange that goes all the way around the tank is squeezed into the groove in the cab floor. The rubber bumpers keep the fitment tight. The upper flanged section bolts to the horizontal cab reinforcement. It's pretty cut and dry. When I get home I can take a Pic.
I put a spun aluminum tank in the bed because I have a big steering wheel and needed to make a little more belly room. I looked and did not have pics of the tank but here is my truck .
I have a 48 cab for sale in the classifieds here. In the next to last pic you can see the top flange of the tank and the raised area in the floor that has the groove in it for the loops on the bottom of the tank. Not a great pic but might help a little. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=416723
Thanks !! If i understand corrcet , the tank is fully mounted on the top and doesn`t rest on the floor in the groove at the bottom ?! Thanks again Michael
Yeah right....."Big Wheel" is the problem its the same in my truck with a little 13 inch metalflake wheel.....and it sems to get worse after a big feed of donuts?????
It actually has three thick rubber pads between the tank and the floor so it does rest on the floor then the bolts at the top.
