I purchased the radiator from that truck. If the tanks had been 80 gallon, I'd have got them myself!

Lmackattack Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 spoke to the owner and he does not want to part with the tanks right now. He has a truck still used on the road that has the same style/size tank and wants them for a spare.Sorry but if that changes I can keep you in the loop. There was a wrecking yard in IA that had a few westerns that had the same style tank. they have a website but I cant find it right now...

Superdog Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Here you go,Ernie.24" diameter Western tank & brackets,straps are usable,but I'd get new if I were you.The tank has one small repair I took a closeup of.No corrosion under straps.

Bollweevil Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Check the numbers, some of these tanks are still in the parts system. $700 plus sounds steep, until you waste a lot of time looking for something that is used but still serviceable. I like Robs Idea of fabricating some straps from stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
