tcwilson Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 i'm looking for a new gas tank for a 54 century. does anyone make a replacment? thanks in advance. tim
Fr. Buick Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 No, 'fraid not!! A Buick is not your run-of-the-mill Chevy, after all, with a ton of aftermarket reproduction parts. Best bet is the salvage yards in the dry western states, or repair what you have. I just pulled a good one out of an itty-bitty salvage yard near Casper, WY last summer for my '54 Special. It had 2 more '54s in it, Century wagons if I remember correctly, but you would have to get there and pull the tank yourself. Keep in mind also that the tank is different for the Super/Roadmonster versus the Century/Special models. Let me know if you want the info. I would have to go digging for it.Happy wrenchingDoug Cook
JohnD1956 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 In 56, the only difference in the tanks is the alignment of the filler neck. Is that the same for 54's?
palbuick Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 According to parts book the 1954 - 55 gas tank fits the 40-6-100 cars, 50-70- series had a different part number. It could be that the 50-70 had a larger tank capicity. easiest way is to check owners manual, usually has listing capacities.Jim SChilfpalbuick
