Fuel Tanks

[Stew Robertson]

I am just putting some feelers out to see if anyone is interested in repro fuel tanks for ford ,chev cmp's or carriers
They are exactly the same, the the cmp,s are seam induction welded and the carriers are all soldered as original the carriers have all cast and turned bronz fittings. The cmps will have no sending unit installed as that is the only difference between canadian built ford and chev
Rights and lefts will be available if there is enough interest
Thanks for any input

Should have said exacly the same as the originials the cmps are different from the carriers
Sorry again

I've had some tanks made over here (UK) I've had the drain and vent fittings re cast, shout if you need any. It may be easier than doing all the work twice.

Cheers

Ben,
I and possibly others from my area would be interested in the tanks for both sides of a carrier. Cost of construction and shipping would, could be a factor. Please keep us informed.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Stew

Tell us a little more..... will these be exact look alike with dimpled drain plug.... sending unit stamped circle with re-inforcements..?

What provision do we have for the sending units..... standard after market made in wonderful China with very similar 5 bolt pattern are readily availalbe for hot rodders..... I beleive Mac Auto has a good FORD look alike for that period.

What about the filler neck.... short or long..... cab 11 or cab 13 style.... again designed to take standard chromes fuel cap.......

or MAYBE a fairly generic tank with provision for local modification to suit the buyer's need...... filler necks and senders can be installed by the buyer.

Good repros would cetainly fill a LARGE gap in many of our restorations.

Any idea of price..... ball park....... shippng might be bitch for bulk.

Very good initiative.

Because of the bulk it may be advantageous to take advantage of members occasional travel to bring large amounts for major cities.

I could pick up a load in my pickup for the Ottawa crowd and also the Montreal fellas...... Montreal could then send a suitable vehicle to recover there share from the Barn. Everything prepaid direct to Stew.

Things can be worked out.

Count me as interested in a set.
