If 63 is same as 64 I could ship you one from N Arkansas. Don't know what the shipping would be and I'm sure it wouldhave to be professional cleaned so it wouldn't be explosive. I could have it checked out and let you know> I will be going to Montogermy Ind if a few weeks and could drop it off if it would help. don

Don,

No idea if a 63 fits in a 64 or not.

Please estimate cost to prep and ship to 43334.

Thanks.

61 - 66 Tanks are all the same.

It will be tomorrow before i can check on the tank. I know it was there a few months ago because I have been robbing parts out of the cab. I will see about shipping also. Will you need it before I go to Montogermy Ind. It will be a lot closer to ship or pick up there. I could leave it at this amish settlement they are good friends of mine and you could pick it up there. Let me know what is best for you. I don't think the tank will cost more than 10 dollars but will have to see. I robbed the sending unit out of the tank. O the reason I'm going to Ind is to check on the Model T spokes they are making for a job that I'm rebuilding and they must press soooo tight and you cant heat the rims like you do on a wagon it cheaper for me to take some rims up there and make sure the taper is made on the spoke at the right thickness and degree. Let me know

Don,

Thanks for the offer, but Montgomery Ind is a 6 hour drive one way from here, about 400 miles. I am not in a big hurry for the tank. It's probably easier for you to ship from Ark than tote it to Ind and ship it from there. Please estimate shipping from Ark to 43334 and let me know what you come up with and I'll decide what to do then.

Thanks.

hahah them amish know their wooden wheels!

as for thee comment that they are all the same, I BELIEVE I saw in a catalog a picture that there were some vent-hose fittings on the later tanks, like from the filler neck back to the tank.... I think it might be nice to have a later tank..... might be less liable to spew gas all over the place?

Hey I just got off the phone with ups and they said no problem with me shipping the empty gas tank. Said it will need to be packed carefully with thin plywood on sides and good strong cardboard box. They had to guess and the shipping because I don't have the weight or size. I'm sure it will be oversize. They guessed it would be 50-75 dollars for the shipping if it's less than 70 pounds and over 100$ if its over 70# It will be Thanksgiven day before i can go see the man about buying the tank. It looked ok when I was down there in the early spring. It still in the cab, I removed the window from the door several months ago but will guess its still ok . will let you know if I have any doubts. Let me know I don't want anything for doing this because people have helped me(like fred from globe az) Just pass it on to any club members when you can be helpful. Don

No big hurry on the tank. I have not removed it yet. I can smell gas on the fill side down near the bottom of the tank. Not sure if I have a fill hose bad or not. I'll know when I get it out of the cab in the next week or so. Thanks for the help.

Don, it sounds like you were going to buy a tank. Is that correct? If so, please don't do that until I know for sure what needs to be done on my end. The shipping est sounded high, but then UPS is pricey which is why I always use FedEx.

Thanks to all.

Yes I don't own the tank but he is very cheap on his items and has never charged me more than 10$ for several things alltogether and I don't believe it will more than ten and probley 5 dollar would be my guess. I will check on fed x prices also. Don

I have a PERFECT tank from my '64 that I will not be using...have better ideas for use of that space. We can discuss the price, cause I hadn't even thought about selling it. Call me @ (386) 446-0224 and I'll send you pics and we can talk about shipping. I am located near Daytona FL.
