NEW LOWER PRICE. These new galvanized tanks are shaped and formed just like GM made them. Fits behind the seat as the original. Is almost identical to the 1947-early 1955 except they are filled on the left drivers side of the cab, not on the passenger side as the earlier gas tank . Another quality part from Jim Carter Truck Parts!!! SAFETY FIRST, GM had the RIGHT IDEA!! This tank is protected by the original heavy gauge double layer metal cab. Campare this with some people's idea of hanging their gas tank behind the rear axle with very little protection from rear end hit. REMEMBER: The 1972 Pinto that was rear ended in the Mid 1970's , burst into flames, and the three Pinto passengers were killed? Check Google and type: 1972 Ford Pinto gas tank explosion.
