[@cbmech2563]

I put the 38 bronco tank in my 97 f250 HD. It wasn't any bigger pain in the butt to put in than the stock tank was to get out. I put a sump on the left front side of the tank, I probably wouldn't have done it if I did much off roading. But it is above the center line of the axle. I use a little auxiliary pump to transfer fuel from the front tank to the rear. I now have enough tanks that I can look for the best price.

Giving the firewall a little massage is what I did also. I put a 5.9 12v in my 88 Ford and now I have clearance to remove the last cover and adjust the valves when need be. Everything else fits nicely. Can’t wait to see your truck running with this CAT!

[@EL_Arson]

You probably already know this but you can replace the rear tank with a 38 gallon bronco tank. Just need longer straps and modify the sending unit.

[@cbmech2563]

Spectra sends you longer bolts and spacers. Paid 140$ for mine 6 months ago

[@hagggle3727]

Rich, not sure if you know this but the OBS Ford’s actually had a longer radiator support for the diesel application in comparison to the gas applications. The part that hangs between the rails at the bottom that is close to your balancer actually hung quite a bit lower on the 7.3 OBS vs the gas OBS due to having a larger radiator for the diesel. Being that this was originally a gas truck is the reason why it’s so close to your balancer. If it was originally a diesel you’d have plenty of clearance because the radiator support would hang farther down. The stock diesel radiator supports are hard to find for a good price so modifying and dropping it yourself is probably the best bet.

[@kstricl]

There are two ways to safely weld a gas tank. First is do it when it's brand new and never had fuel in it. Second is to steam it out with high temperature steam for a couple hours - they do that with tank trucks in the oilfield to make them safe for servicing after they've been hauling volatile fluids. Home repair is better suited to a tube of sealall - I've applied that to a gas tank at -15c, the car was pulled off the road before the patch leaked.

[@user-ne3ze4zz7r]

Always good to have a Cat in your shop - both kinds! :D

[@mikeznel6048]

Thats a good idea. You can purge it with argon too but the dry ice idea is probably alot cheaper.

[@nismofreak33]

Hey Rich, for what its worth, if you are worried about the thermostat housing being the highest point vs the radiator. if you have some room, you can always run a tiny header tank setup up higher in the corner of the bay with a couple 3/8th coolant hoses coming from the Thermostat housing and the radiator tank to ensure the air gets bled out.

Looks like it’s coming together nicely 👍. Honestly the fine points of making something like your doing come together is great to see. I’m sure others feel the same. A day that any of doesn’t learn something is a wasted day. A lot of times a persons eye picks up on things they didn’t even realize until that bit of wisdom is needed. I like to see how it’s done now compared to the late 70s when we were stretching trucks for 18 ton auger tenders for the farm and dry fertilizer delivery. In our area I’ve built some of first carrot harvesters , potato tippers. Now at 75 I just built yard carts for grandchildren, great grandchildren. Used to built sand rails set up with self loading Tee trailers. It was always fun you could drive on drop a couple pins and be on the road in 5 minutes. Great content 👍 🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸.
