This is an oldy. Don't hesitate to start a new thread.

The Fordors and Cabriolets were made by sub-contractors like Briggs and Murray. Some have wood framework under the tank and others have some metal as well. They really stuck those tanks around the filler opening using a special tar paper pad to keep it solid and leak free. They can be a real PITA to remove.

If you have a Tudor then it is just a matter of unbolting all the fasteners and Yes on removal of the steering column clamp. The tank should come out after disconnecting the dash panel, fuel lines, and choke/GAV rod assembly.
