620 gas tank compatibility

[ddhacor]

Hi Guys,

I'm shopping for a tank to replace the crazy rusted one I've got now. Even with two filters, my carb bowl gets loaded with rust-dust...

 

Anyone know what other tanks will fit on my 78 620 kingcab? And by that I mean, does a 720 tank bolt up (etc)? It seems that there are more 720 tanks available. I've read through a couple threads talking about the 620/720 frame compatibilities and I'm thinking it should work.

 

The tank on my 74 bolts up a different way, so that's not an option.

 

Thanks!

have you considered a fuel cell, or having the one you have refurbished?

I'm pretty sure the 720s are bolted to the frame front and back. If you cut the mounts off a 720 you could weld them on your '78. I have a 720 long bed tank on mine but it was an '82 frame to start with. I had to lower the tank about 4" to slide under the cab. I'll have a look when I get home and if worth it I'll post pix of the mounts. The 720 4X4 tank is large and there is a notch in the top to allow part of it to project under cab for extra volume.

I have spare tanks.And there is a good tank shop in town.

What shop do you know of?

I have not decided which way to go yet as far as finding a good one or getting mine refurbished. But if there's a good local option that would work.

 

Thanks!

I just went thru every phone book in the house-nada.It is on Grant just east of the 10,south side(brick building)Performance engineeering(perfection engineering?).There are always quads,dirt bikes,mini bikes/choppers displayed on the corner.Looks like a dump of a shop,but they do a bitchin' job on fuel tanks.

Mine (521) was leaking. Had it boiled out and fixed at a shop for $60. Then I got some Master Series Silver, poured it in the tank and swished it around (to seal in the surface rust inside), poured out the excess, painted the outside with the same master series, then used textured undercarrage black on top of that.

 

Working swell so far!
