IN A JUNKYARD, UNDER A TRUCK*N E Rust Belt
I'm going to convert my '87 'burb to veggie oil, and want to mount one of my new saddle tanks to be my diesel supply.
Anybody have a not-to-rusty set of mounting hardware? I'm not sure which side to mount tank on. any suggestions? Are sides different?
Thanks, Andrew
 
The brackets are the same side to side, they just weld the nuts on to different holes depending on what side it goes on. However I don't think your gonna get a pickup tank to fit under a 'burb because of the floor being lower on a rear seat burb compared to a truck floor that raises up.
 
HHHmmmmmm??? Velly intelesting. I have two 57" tanks, but they're on running parts trucks. I wish I had one handy to try 'er. I also have a shorty PU, 46" tank, one tank was cancelled years ago. Should fall off soon, one strap is rusted thru...
 
i have all these brackets and stuff

im about to drop pass side tank off the 77 and i have a driver side all intact and complete from an 86

lemme know

or its going in shredder

im not playin aorund anymore with stuff, if i cant use it then its gone or about to be gone i dont care what it is i have been known to take in great running engines jut because i dont like to look at them around here, many good perfectly good and complete, chevy engines been wasted evne good old 69-79 4 bolt high nickel high tin 350's


i dont care anymore
ppl never want the stuff anymore and the shredder is too nearby to keep stuff, and it pays pretty good right now and im laid off from the plant currently



good luck
 
Goodevening... Sounds like a plan. How rusty? Mine have very heavy scale, strap rusted right thru! Do yours have skid plate?
Have you got pix? Can you take PayPal? Are you prepared to box 'em up?
Lotsa' questions... You can PM me...

Andrew, hi there,
sorry no pics or plate or paypal, i have no digicam, no one will trade me a working digicam for anything i have, so im without one still...



rust isnt anything major, i will clean the two that are somewhat rusty if you want then they wont be rusty at all like the other two


prepared to package them in cardboard and mail them yes, no biggie at all
whats zip code there ? mail would be around 15 or so


would trade for something i would be interested in

never know what
