Who sells best gas tanks 1978 2wd c10
« on: October 16, 2018, 06:06:27 PM »
I have a 78 2wd c10 probably 16 gallon
I don't want to go thru changing the tank, and end up with junk, or non proper fit.
Anyone have any insight on quality gas tanks?

Spectra is what I use, but any reputable company makes good tanks.  We sell tanks but shipping is ridiculous.

What do you think is wrong with your old tank?  Its just a container, and what usually wears out is the sending unit, hoses, etc.   If the tank has no damage/holes, I would just pull it off and refurbish it yourself.  Even if you buy a new tank it will not come with new sending unit and hoses.

You might also be able to find a local source, to avoid shipping cost, but it depends where you are located.  When I lived in San Antonio there was a place called Crash Parts (now out of business) that had lots of GM body repair parts on hand and there was no additional charge for shipping.  For example, I think I only paid about $50 each for new Chinese-made fenders, and they are still on the truck after about 15 years.
