1965 Chevy Truck V8 Two Wheel Drive Manual

i own a 65 chevy with the fuel tank in the cab. the southwest international raceway requirements are that all vehicles with the tanks in the cab are not alowed to race. i need to get it out but lm not sure if i can.

does the law require it be removed or just be unused?

you may not be aable to get it out without a little cutting, but cutting by a gas tank is never good either.

im sure it has to be unused. but that extra space would be nice. i got a chance to take it out today and it was fairly easy. i can leave the filler neck in cause it is seperate, and keep that stock look without any body work. well thank you for your advice. i will ask more questions on your website if i need to. scott
