Re: Boyds Tank Problems in a '60 SWB
I think the tank is to far back. The three I have done I removed the small cross member that is in front of your tank and left the rear one in to protect the tank. The bed rail is in between the vents and the filler. This will be more important if you put an efi pump where the plate is.

Re: Boyds Tank Problems in a '60 SWB
60-62 has a different frame than 63-66. The Boyd's tank for the 60-62 is 8 inches wider than the 63-66 tank as well according to their specs. I'm currently running a 94 S10 blazer tank in my 60 and had to get creative with the filler. I was interested in the Boyd's tank for my 60 but now I'm not so sure...

Re: Boyds Tank Problems in a '60 SWB
So I forgot that I had removed the cross bracket that is in your way (the brace that is in between the axle and your tank) a long time ago when I installed a previous fuel cell type tank. Because I had already cut a fuel door in the bed wood for the old tank I had to special order my Boyd tank with a custom location filler neck. It some point I had someone welled in a peace of square tubing as a cross brace at the vary end of my frame for added protection and support.

Re: Boyds Tank Problems in a '60 SWB
Seems to me it was poorly engineered, some are posting about similar issues, the fact that they are not responding speaks volumes, they could care less, they have your money and they have no dignity…
Your at a point to fix it, sad news I’m sure , but make it what you need it to be, more dollars, but doable. This is exactly why I have a local guy build my “vessels”, I make a pattern, make the fuel pump and sender plates, tell him where the filler should be and have zero issues, probably less money involved than what you already spent Sorry your having this issue, but I see more and more of this in the aftermarket industry today…. |
