All those old rusted tank with good necks are now worth a fortune.....guess what we are doing this weekend.... and think of all th rusted tanks we passed by in the years past......

Might not be a bad deal Stew...... 40 tanks is only 20 vehicles.....

Now if I remember...way back when...Doug Weatherstone from the Paris area had a bunch of NOS short neck fillers with cap..... he might still have some.... anyone knows where to look for him.

Another possible source.... the valve covers of cab 11 and osme cab 12 had an extension bolted on as a tall filler neck..... they are identical to the gas tank filler neck...same cap...same internal chain on the cap..... some rusted out valve covers are not worth money.....

Now if we could get Dirk in Holland to ship bulk some of the brass large oval plate that fitted on original cab 11 tanks ( with reserve valve) we would really be cooking.... in fact an old oval brass cover could be salvaged and glues/epoxied on the top section of a new tank and survive all but a close inpection.

Once the dies are made for the end caps ... making the narrow Ford expansion water tank would be relatively easy.

Stew any idea how he woud install the old necks.... lead soldering as per original or fancy Tig welding..?
