WTB: 63-66 suburban or panel gas tank
 
I've decided that I want to move my gas tank out of the cab, but I also want to keep my spare tire under the bed. After looking at some options, the factory suburban or panel tank seems to meet my criteria.

I need a tank in good shape that holds gas. I would also like to have all the fuel neck pieces, and if possible, all the fuel door parts that are needed to graft it into my bedside.

Thanks!

I have all of the fuel fill parts. The original tank/straps were no good. The body section around the door is good as is the door. The rest has some amount of rust but I saved it all so someone could at least use it for mockup if they don't repair it. The fill neck is good. $40 plus shipping for all of it.

Christian , you think you could use Bryans under bed tank he took out of his 66 and make it work . He just put a Boyd tank in his for his LS Swap .

It would fit, but I would have to move the spare tire into the bed. The factory suburban tanks have a cutout for the spare tire, so it will end up working perfectly for what I want to do. I also don't want the filler neck to be in the bed, so that's another reason to get everything from a suburban or panel

I cut away more of the bad metal to reduce weight and sanded away the paint. Here is an updated picture. Shipping is $20 via UPS Ground. 10# boxed. It could be less if you don't want the inner panels. They are rusty but are good for mockup or fix them if you want.

If Christian passes. I would be interested.

Do I need the inner panel to make everything work? I have not looked at how it all attaches and such. I want to weld the fuel door into the bedside of my truck so it looks factory.

No, it's not needed to make it look factory from the outside.

Actually, I'd rather just leave it on in case I decide that I want to use all of it. What's your preferred method of payment?

I just checked UPS again. The "billable weight" is 19 lbs whether it weighs 10 or 5 lbs, so no savings at all.

PM sent re: payment

Ok, so who has a good tank and strap? Time to add some room to my cab and make the truck a little safer!
