Default FS: CMP Fuel Tanks

John Bizal asked me to post these on here as he has difficulty posting photos on the site. He asked me what these were for, and I believe them to be Ford CMP, one early and one later. It looks like the necks have been moved at some point as there are traces of the openings on the top of the tasnks.
Contact John at jbizal100@midwestmil.com for full details.

I believe that Chevs used a sending unit with a 5 screw pattern while the fords used a 6 screw as shown on these two tanks. My Cab 11 Ford had an identical tank with the fuel neck located on the top of the tank along with the large tank access plate with shutoff valve.
