1955 S-140 Gas Tank

Upon further inspection this tank is in bad shape. The good news is I found a part number on the sending unit!!! Called the IHC dealer and they have one in the Navistar plant in Ohio. Turns out that the same sending unit was used on a bunch of IHC trucks and they have a bunch of NOS parts around the country. PN is 145638-R91 if anyone needs it. Now just need to track down a tank, worse case senario I guess I could fab a keg tank...........

I looked in the manual and I think the 140 has the underskirt 21 gallon. These ford tanks are close they are made in steel and poly or a universal tank will get you by.

Kevin, the top tank you listed is 41 x 12 x 12 So Dimensions are close, may have to modify or make new brackets

I agree, may go that way myself, I think the ford polys are cheaper on different sites.

When I had the tank out of my L-112, it measured about 45" x 9-1/2" x 9-1/2" inches...so your tank is about 4" taller [vertically] than the L-R-S 110/120/130 series trucks. I'd wager a tank from an L-R-S 150 or 160 might fit.
