1980 D150 with leaking gas tank - need advice
Hi,
I have a 1980 Dodge Deluxe (D150 I think) Pickup with a leaky gas tank. I need advice on repair or replacement of the tank.
Thanks
Mike

Welcome to the site. Is the D150 related to the first generation Ram?

Wikipedia says the Ram started in 1981, so it would be the year after my truck was built.
Thanks for the welcomes, guys

Thanks for the welcome and the tip about Seal-All. Does anyone know what kind of plastic the gas tank on my 80 Dodge pickup is made of?
Thanks again,
Mike
My son found a new metal replacement tank - says it fits - will be sorely disappointed if it does not. $124.00 with free shipping from RadiatorClassic via ebay.
