    It worked really well, Rich. I wouldn't mind getting my tank out of the cab too but I don't want the filler tube in the middle of the bed or cut a hole in the side. One guy on a Ford truck forum found a tank from a salvage yard that filled from the rear. He was able to use a pull-down license plate like some of the 60's-70's cars. He has no idea what the tank came out of though.

    Randy - most of the '60s and early '70s full size Fords and if I recall, some Torino models had that arrangement - but you will probably lose the spare though.

    I don't have the spare underneath anyway. I just toss it in the back if I'm going very far.

    First off Happy Thanksgiving to everyone . I had to catch up on a zoom of 4 pages since I posted . I have a truck that I am messing with sorry to say just not a vintage one .

    Dave the 71 would be nice to cruise but I think momma will behead me , see in the last 2 weeks I picked up a new one and been slightly nervous I told her on Facebook Big Mistake Very Big LOL .

    Randy you really found a sweet deal on that bed , but most that are inland correct me if I am wrong are rust free . The beds near the salt air rust like anywhere right ?

    Lurker Loo I like that But I have been tinkering around . Ford right now is working a lot of 7 day weeks . Matter of fact I just came off a 10 day run .

    OT but here but to give a insight .

    8 years ago I started this one
