Gas Tank

Post by ocwd »

I just picked up an M38 gas tank for $5. What a great find. I should have taken some before pictures but I forgot. It's at the radiator shop now for boiling, sandblasting, and painting. The shop is going to boil it out, solder some small holes, sand blast the exterior, and paint it black for $95. Is the proper color for the M38 gas tank black or green? Does anyone have pictures of the hold-down straps?

Thanks,

Dave

Nice looking Jeep Greg. Thanks for the picture. I'll just spray the green over the black from the radiator shop.
