Thanks for all the input. I really think that the worst of it is where those plates were attached. I will definately cut that part out and replace it. As far as the sealer that your pour in, I did a little searching on the net and it seamed that people have used this method on small automobile gas tanks and motorcycle tanks. I just assumed it would take a lot of material to do a 40 and a 50 gal tank. After I do some welding and do a pressure check hopefully I will be good to go. Thnaks again, Bill

I just had the stock fuel tanks on my B61 chemically stripped. I think they came out pretty good but will still need a little work. The metal is thin where the spec plates were fastened next to the steps. The guys that did the work think there may be another hole behind the step on on tank. They look very good inside and on the bottom. My question is, can I just hit these spots with my mig welder or is there a sealer that might work better. Also, there is a slight residue inside from the stripping process. Can I rinse this out with water and dry real well and be ok to fuel up after that? Thanks for any help. Billy

Just thought I would take a second to say hello. Recently purchased my first B Model and am anxious to get started on getting this old dog looking good again. I'm sure I am going to need a lot of help so don't be surprised to see a lot of questions being asked within these pages. Some of them may seem somewhat silly but I really don't know much about these trucks at all. I did a lot of the restoration on my 1946 Chevy Coe, but that truck is in a differnt league compared to this mack. I look forward to spending sometime here on what looks like a great site. Thanks, Bill.
