One of our members Crazy Legs is going a different route since the trunk floor of a 52-56 sedan or hardtop is flat by cutting the floor a Mustang tank will bolt in to a 52-56 it will require a modification at the filler neck but shouldn't be a big deal since it is toward the rear.Now check out the price for a Mustang tank and sender: http://www.ebay.com/itm/64-65-66-Mu...Parts_Accessories&hash=item53ee1821a6&vxp=mtr about 1/3 the cost of the 52-54 tanks which never seem to be in stock and a new sender comes with it.60's & 70's Mustangs still used a gauge voltage regulator as the gauges were still 6 volt.Here is a link to his main board post:http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=8092182#post8092182 scroll down to #44,I sent him a pm asking that he post pictures of the install so stand by.Just as a price comparison the Mustang tank and sender is under $100 here is a 52-54 tank http://lbcunited.com/earlyford2/pro.../3456?osCsid=0ae2b8241ba76393389738b0c41f5666

 

I belong to a group called "Wagonville2" and this came accross the other day.
Subject: [wagonville2] New Gas Tanks for '55,'56 Wagons found



http://www.cl***iccarautoparts.com/about.html A company in Minnesota, Cl***ic Car Auto Parts, has new tanks.
They are $399, most others are around $209. You have to pay more for the first ones because of R and D, new stampings, etc.
I am not affiliated with them at all, I just own a wagon...

 

There are many mentions of Mustang tanks on the web in shoebox Fords,here is a link with pictures of one installed http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=718743&highlight=mustang+gas+tank and here is a picture of a Mustang tank in a '54 Chevy http://olskoolrodz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47532

 

Thanks for the info on the tank Jeff I just ordered one 94.00 shipped to the door.
