Freightrain Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I've had thoughts of trying to come up with a pair of 40-50 gal round aluminum tanks I could put on my truck. I'd like to get rid of the stock square tanks, replace them with step boxes(make the right side a battery box) and then hang the round tanks back under the bunk.I remember years back someone had a set of alum. diamond plate square tanks made for a B model. Neat, but kinda pricey I suppose. Not that my rusty hulk is worth all that.Just thinking out loud. Maybe someone has something thrown in the back forty that would work?

Freightrain Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Step tanks? I'd rather have just a plain tank, as they won't be under the cab.

Freightrain Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I use Photobucket to host my pictures, then just copy/paste the link to your post.I don't want to drag you through too much if they aren't what I'm looking for. It is just another "wannado" thing. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Don Hancock Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Larry It would look like this, My buddies B set up the same both sides. The tanks are Ford.

Freightrain Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Thanks Don. I guess I'm not wanting something quite that large(couldnt afford to fill them!). 100 gals total is more my speed. I do like the steps he put on, that's kinda what I was picturing in my head. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
