1952-59 Ford SS Gas Tank

Has anyone ever dealt with either Rock Valley or Rick’s Tanks to have a SS gas tank made?

I want to add an in the tank fuel pump on my 56 and thought the best way maybe just to have a tank made.

Thanks!

I have a Ricks Tank in my 64 Falcon. They are very expensive but real nice. They can make changes if needed as well. Aeromotive and I think HOLLEY make universal drop in units for a stock tank.

 

Bob Drake has in tank fuel pump brackets. I have a '56 tank in my '54 and I'm using that bracket along with his sending unit.

I have the Drake tank and with the in tank pump fittings in my 55.

 

Do you think the Bob Drake 55 tank is the same as a stock 56 tank? It would be nice if it would bolt right in.

 

Not sure. It seems my tank is from a '55, not a '56 like I said. My bad! I pulled pics from C&G Ford's site and the '55 is the only one offered with in tank pump bracket. The two tanks do look a bit different. Different part #s too.

'55.....



'56......



With that said, the filler necks are on the same side. Call and get dimensions for both. The '55 tanks are a bit different than '54's and all I had to do was lengthen the straps a bit and shorten the filler neck 1" to make it fit.

 

I’ll give them a call.

Thanks for the help!
