I just got off the telephone with the owner of this company. I was very pleased to find that he has built replacement fuel tanks for many years of IHC trucks including the L&R. He builds the tanks out of 304 stainless steel and the tanks include two baffles and the mounting surface for the sender and fuel pick up. He is able to built the tank in both left original and/or the right side which was never available from IHC. The tanks are not inexpensive but when a person considers all of the options I did not find it all that bad. I got the impression that the R&L tank can be made longer for more capacity at an additional cost. I am not going to quote prices here, because it is not my business. I will/can say this, we will be buying new tanks form Rock Valley. It just makes good sense when I consider everything.
BTW: They do custom work.
