gas tanks-C/K cars

[vetteson]

Is there a source for NOS or reconditioned or replacement gas tanks for 53-55 C/K cars?

Gas Tank Renu. Google and see if there's an outlet near you. Baked in and out and working fine for me.

No replacements, except used Tanks from 1953 to 1964 C, K or Hawk Models with minor changes to fuel line routing.

Other makes that mount with straps rather than Bolts, will take major mods to come close to fitting well.

Two years ago I purchased a tank for a "mid 1950's Buick" part &# B1-A from www.tanksinc.com. I brazed three mounting tabs on the sides to mount into my '53 & capped off the filler using a large "freeze plug". I then drilled a new hole in the tank & brazed a section of the filler neck that comes with the tank into the right position (and angle) to match the '53. If you purchase the "pickup & sender" for that tank from them (I did not), by adding a short pigtail to your sender wire & a longer piece of fuel line you will not have to drill another hole in the tank for a pickup. I ended up drilling a new hole in the trunk floor to line up with the sender mount in the tank (I used the old sender & thus brazed a new pickup into the tank, they sell them as well). Right now I cannot find the photos, but I believe I posted them on the Forum at that time. The tank is about 1/2" narrower. 1" shorter, and about 3/4" deeper that the 1953 tank was. After brazing everything, I capped the holes and put a Schrader valve on the fuel pickup and slightly pressurized the tank & soaped all the welds to make sure it did not leak.

I have a couple of used C/K tanks in good condition. PM me. Thanks.
