Thanks very much OB!

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

Nice cobbling. A great example of "making it work".

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks 👍. I though it would be a bolt in, but made it work when I realized it wasn't. :)

[@alvinfink589]

Another great video Jimmy! I’m really liking that gas tank.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks, looks good on there doesn’t it! :)

[@foxbody5.05]

@@JimmyMakingitwork oh for sure! I can’t wait to see the finished product. I’m working on a 94 Mustang GT and I keep saying I don’t want a show car but I keep doing the same thing you’re doing, fixing this and adding that, lol

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Jimmy Thank you for another Great Video 👍 She is coming along nicely, Brother. It won't be long before she is done!!!!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks George! 👍

[@tedvandell]

Looks great. Progress

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you!

[@sshmuckatelli]

American made fuel tank held by Chinese fasteners. Matco is made in Taiwan now. Harbor Freights headquarters used to be right down the road from me. Thanks for the video Jimmy, that truck will be rolling before you know it.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks man!

[@mlieser1230]

The gas tank is sharp looking. It reminds me somewhat of a fuel cell. I install washers the same way you do. Really like that shirt you are wearing. Have a great weekend!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks man, you have a great one also!

[@nogoogle6349]

Good job

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you! Lots of videos for this project truck on the channels main page!

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Really enjoyed this! Great work on the the tank!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Scott, I’m super happy with it!!!

[@westonlee9778]

I have the exact tank model hopefully I’ll get to the install soonest. My bed is ready to be removed

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Awesome! It’s a very nice tank!

[@fastrice3461]

Hey Jimmy! I’m surprised GoPro didn’t offer any support with all the camera probs you were having. I have a GoPro 7 and 8 and thinking about the 10 but after your experience, I look elsewhere. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you, I’m getting used to the glitches and adapting. But sure would be nice if it didn’t have those issues.

[@joehebert8070]

If I live closer I would have to I live in Connecticut that's kind of far I think you're doing a great job on your truck

[@joehebert8070]

If I live closer I would have helped you I live in Connecticut

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, yeah that is far!!! Thanks!

[@theinfamousb-ran5729]

Ayeee Jimmayyy. Man that tank looks good. I do the same thing, fixing little things I swore I wouldn't haha.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, I brought this truck saying a few patch panels and AC and I’m done. Now the beds blown apart and the cab is next, lol.

[@jobo1004]

How are you liking those Vessel screwdrivers?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Best screwdrivers I've ever owned, at any price.

[@davidgriffin14]

Did I miss who won the jump starter and scan tool? I've been waiting.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Both videos have the winners pinned at the top! Thanks!

[@westonlee9778]

Thanks for detailed video! Did you run a metal fuel line from the tank to the engine compartment?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yes I did. It should be in a video after the tank install video. There are 98 videos on the truck so far. :)

[@westonlee9778]

Thanks for your video! I’m just starting my Boyd tank install on my 63. My tank is also a side mount. I haven’t decided where to install my filler tube ie behind the drivers side rear wheel inner fender or other. Where will you install the filler tube & cap?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Mine is a top fill, so I cut the bed boards and sanded a round hole for access. Might add a cover eventually but so far it works well. If I went side fill I’d probably find a donor truck and graft in a fuel door? I thought about it a bit. Glad if I could help.

[@westonlee9778]

Sir is your bed still off your pickup? If so could you do me a favor? Could you take some diagonal measurements on the frame because I think my frame is out of square. I’m trying to install a Boyd gas tank on a 63 C-10 short bed Thank you

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Sorry, I have the bed on the truck and it's on the road now, only needing a Fan upgrade for Summer temps. I do know my frame rails were also slightly out of square, but not enough for concern, within about 1/4". You can use the bed rail mounting holes to measure and get an idea. I think this is why the tank comes needing the mounting holes drilled. Adding blind nuts or rivnuts to the tank mounting flanges will also help with getting it bolted up. I made a more complicated steel strip and used bolts and nuts, more work to remove next time. But I plan to change that if I do ever have to remove it again. Hope this helps.

[@westonlee9778]

Ok sounds good thank you much have a good one

[@michaelbrownie7718]

Jimmy how many hours did it take to install this with all the gas lines etc? Thx

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I had about 4 hours in it start to finish. Not including removing the bed.

[@michaelbrownie7718]

Thx

[@nogoogle6349]

Where are you located?
