Talk about a bomb!!!

Maybe a 73-87 tank would work.... Just something I thought of when working on pop's 73 IH.

As I recall, Chevy has been sued for their outside the frame rail tanks on these year models. Seems in a T-bone collision they do a pretty good job of blowing up. I have seen some video and its not pretty. It wasn't really a recall because of the vast number of these trucks out there. It wasn't financially feasible. So what Chevy did was send all registered owners of these year models a $500 gift certificate towards a new vehicle if the owner also traded in his affected truck.

To make a long story short. I certainly wouldn't entertain this idea for a second if a class action suit has already been won against the factory's version.
