hi from 68 f100 kid

Post by 68 F100 KID »

i live in missouri i have a 1968 f100 that is my first truck me and my dad are going restore. right now it is down to just the chassis. i race bmx, and my family runs a bmx track in kansas city. im going to swap my stock 360 out with a bigger 390. im going to sandblast the frame pretty soon and i was woundering if any one knew where i could find a gas tank to put in the back of the frame instead of the cab

man the more younger kids come on here the old i start to feel :lol:

I never relized you and lance were that young

btw you are looking to add a gas tank in a different area...like one that fills from the bed like this

Image

a piece of advice would be to install the accuall tank and skid plate while you have the box and body of the frame.. it can be done with the cab on but you will need to remove the box.

But if you have any questions feel free to ask on here... and everyone will try to help you
