I haven't heard that one Cary, just the Bronco rear tank which loses the spare tire if course. I think it's around 38 gals though.

LOL, I was just thinking about that yesterday while I was filling up our SD. As I was filling up, I looked underneath and I don’t see why it wouldn't fit but I didn't take any measurements so I can't say for sure. I think the plastic would be a lot easier to work with also.

When my rear tank rusted through I replaced it withthe bronco tank. When my front tank rusts through I will replace with a SD tank.
Hell right with my tanks I can hold a little over 110 gals. With a SD tank that will jump to almost 130 usable gals.
When I do that I will be able to fill up with non tax, drive to MT vacation, fill up with non tax, and drive home. heh heh heh

Isnt the front tank plastic? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] So if you wait for it to rust out you might be there for awhile. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

What would you need a gas tank for [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]??
I believe the original front tank is metal, the aftermarket ones are probably plastic.
