Hi,

I Just came across this board a few days ago while searching for gas tank relocation ideas. I am working on a 71 C10. I have shaved pretty much everything from the body except the tank filler. I think I'll go with the under the rear of the bed tank with a side filler and remote filler door. Still have to pull the old motor/trans and finish the firewall then get this thing painted and back on the road. I have had it for about 2 years. Got it for $600.00 running and driving with a 350 and auto trans. I lowered it 4" and have a nice 400 engine ready to go in. It's not my first project. Just sold a 53 Ford and a 48 Plymouth. A few others I have had are a 40 Stude coupe, 56 Belair, a couple 58 and 60 Impalas, 61 Vette, 64 Caddy, 69 442, 71 Vette, 75 Spitfire, 80 Fiat Spyder, and lots of others. Also working on a 51 Merc right now with a 80 Trans Am, and 53 Ford pickup waiting. I hope to get lots of good ideas from this board.

Thanks,
Jim

Nice project. Welcome from the board from Texas

Welcome from Colorado. Looks like a fun project.

Jim,
Where in Mississippi? I am in Jackson. We have a very close group in the state and get together pretty often to just junkyard hop or simply B/S.

Looks pretty good so far. Look forward to meeting you!!

I live near Terry just south of Jackson. Do you have meetings and/or shows? Let me know the next time you are getting together.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi there jim. Like Putter said we are pretty tight knit group here. I haven't been to any of the Drive In's yet, but they meet the first Saturday of the month over in Byram. Go ahead and shave the filler and put a blazer tank in under the bed then you can put the filler behind the tail light. I'll send you some pics of mine tonight.

Terry, eh? My truck has been camping out in Byram for about a month now. Greetings from Brookhaven! This is a great place to hang out and get information. There are quite a few of us on the board that are scattered about the state. Of the 8 or so members that I have met in person, all are super and will do anything to help out. Let me know if I can help you with anything.
