I figure the bondo will be far enough back on the tank and once it's properly primed and sealed up with a couple coats of 24087 then any small fuel spill would be harmless.

Shoot, the truck is a work in progress. Still have to rebuild the engine, tranny, etc. I went ahead and tack welded a plate to the dent earlier around noon. Ran out of wire, picked up some more and put a few more tacks on. I put the tank under the right side of the cargo bed (coincidentally...

No offense taken, I always try and keep in mind that on an internet forum it can sometimes be difficult to determine somebody's exact tone. I am very confident in my welding skills, done a lot of fabricating since owning the truck and I've been complimented on my work by those who have been...

I am no expert, never taken a welding class in my life. But asking for tips on how to do something in no way indicates a person does not have the skill or knowledge required to perform said repair. I've got a lot of work to get done here and it's been 110+ these past few days, so it will be...

Negative on the sealer, it has been bone dry for 30+ years and it has a fair amount of rust inside from sitting. Mostly surface rust and what I could get with a power washer it took it down to bare metal quite easily. I'll be using some Evapo on it later. I like the basket ball idea, however...

Understood every word, excellent instructions! I will make a cardboard template of the crown tomorrow to start with. I am fairly new to MV body work but in the 1 year I have been working on the truck I have learned quite a lot. The floor was the biggest challenge for me. Years ago the truck was...

AMX, I know you have repaired a "couple" dents before, your technique sounds interesting. Could you be a little more specific? I'd rather not pick up a new tank, they are difficult to find for the GMC's and aside from a little damage there's nothing wrong with this one. I'd rather save the good...

Jones, great idea! I have some thick steel plate laying around that I think would do the job nicely. Instead of filling in the screw holes I could just thread the screws back into them just a few turns, cut the ends flush and spot weld them in, I think this would work better than trying to fill...

First off, the tank has not had a drop of fuel in it for over 30 years and has been open for several months, there are no fumes inside thank god. As you can see from the pictures it's a pretty bad dent ontop. I do not have a stud welder, just my MIG. I am pretty darn good with it, and was...
