Has anyone used the Tanks Inc Universal Tanks in 64-66? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just trying to see if the Tanks Inc Universal tanks, like this one (http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/pa...rod/prd173.htm) would fit for a 66. From what i have read it will, but just want to verify, and see if anyone has any pictures of the install. Thanks.

They do fit. I think I had to trim my frame about 1/4" but that was about it. I put two bars on top of the tank for stops. There is plenty of room to get a side fill door in. I bought the 90º turn so I could put in a side fill instead of through the bed.
One problem with the tanks is they are only 16 gals. They do the job.

I put that tank in my '63. It fit with out any trimming. I painted it black to blend better with the undercarriage. I installed it with the bed on.

Here is a thread I started a while ago where Chevyfleetside's recommendation lead to me installing that very tank. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=621177
