Looking for a fuel tank for '54 Ford F-100

Does anyone have suggestions on where to get a fuel tank for my '54 Ford F-100 and have it shipped to Kingston, Ontario? Here's what I've found so far, before any shipping charge is added.

Old Car Centre in British Columbia: $290
Early Ford V8 Sales in Upstate NY: $275
eBay sellers in the U.S.: $225
LMC Truck: $179+$20 oversized part surcharge

Anyone know of a better deal, or something closer to home where I could pick it up myself and save on shipping?

 

I have brand new tank for a 56. filler neck & sending unit included. I am not going to use it. $100. I went with a $300 tank for in the rear of truck. UGOTPK

 

'56 is behind the seat, '54 is under the cab.

 

I know. not to hard to change. Just an idea. I will just put it in the adds.

 

Has anybody used fuel tanks from "Tanks Inc." in Monticello, Iowa? I can get a tank for my truck for $175 from them and I want to know if anyone has had good or bad experiences with them.

Here's the link to what I'm interested in getting: http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm?ptype=product&product_id=131&prd131.htm

Also, I'm looking for someone near Watertown, New York (or Syracuse) who would be willing to let me have the tank shipped to them and I would pick it up when it gets there.

 

I seen a couple guys running mustang gas tanks between the rails near the rear bumper. Just a thought... one guy was using a 70 mustang tank back there.

 

I'm a welder and tryed for a week to fix my 54 gas tank. Finley gave up and bought one from mid fifty's f-100. I think it was around $350. Well worth it.

 

So what do you think of the one Tanks Inc. is selling for $175? Click the link I gave in my post above and let me know if you think I should stay away from it. The price difference is huge, so either it's a good deal or a bad tank. Thanks!

 

Isn't Tanks Inc right next to Yogi's in Monticello? Not sure if Yogi's has anything to do with Tanks Inc or if they are just in the same industrial complex.

 

Same address and same fax number, but different phone numbers and separate websites.

 

Look good to me. The one from mid fifty's was heavy plastic. go for it

 

I bought one from Mac's in April last year: $236 plus frt. Exact dup of original.

 

I have a Tank's poly tank and it bolts right in. being under everything it does not show and is more puncture resistant than a steel tank. I bought mine from mid 50's Ford.

 

You can easily put a 24 or 31 gallon tank under the rear of the bed. 80's Chevy Full Size K5 Blazers tanks fit between the frame rails like they were made for it. The new replacement tanks from the parts stores are CHEAP and readily available. I have the 31 gallon in my '56 because I don't like stopping for fuel.

Here's this one for $111.

It's a good deal.

I bought and installed one of their fuel tanks on my '55 F100 back in '97 and it's been trouble-free. No more rust and scale clogging up filters and bowls EVER. Trouble-free install and I haven't thought twice about it since.

 

This or the 65-70 Mustang, Cougar Tanks really are the best way to go. Cheap and easy to install in the rails behind the rear axle. Hit me up if you need more info. I have a 53 F100 I am putting a Mustang tank into.
