    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

fuel tank ID (for Big D 83)

Yes Derrick, I see now the single tab at the back of that Ebay tank I posted. Mine has a broad, flat tab with 2 mounting holes. The think that caught my eye about the T tank was the notch at the bottom, rear corners, for a side panel to slip into.

bwringer, I noticed that too. The weld extends about 2 inches under the front of the tunnel then up the inside edge. Not sure why this was done. I dont see any other evidence of modification or damage repair in the area. I'm wondering if they didnt do it when they dented the front corners, as a relief cut, but it still doesnt make sense.

That's a nice tank GS/GRPaul, but its not remotely the same tank. Mine doesnt have the raised section on top, my fuel cap is not centered like that one, mine doesnt have the pronounced knee cut-outs, and the mounting looks all wrong. Man I like the crap out of that tank you found though!
