7600 fuel tank bracket

dbeam · Oct 15, 2019

I have a 7600 ford that came with out a cab (now has an after market cab) and the sn is C491817. The front bracket that supports the fuel tank is broken and didn't know if anyone knew of where to get one. I think this may be the part number E5NN16B814AA but not entirely sure as it list 4 or 5 numbers https://www.messicks.com/nh/58362 #21. I am looking for something cheaper then Messicks, will have welded if I can't find another option but would rather replace then deal with welding. Thanks.

You are not likely to do better on price than Messicks. You will need to remove the bracket to replace it, and once you have gotten the bracket out getting it welded should be no problem.

I agree with showcrop. You have to take it out anyway, just weld it. It would be very quick and easy to do.
Besides, the odds that NH still sells that part is well below 50/50. Just because the website lists a price
does not mean it's available.

Thanks for the input, makes my decision going forward much easier. I already have it down, I'll get someone better at welding then me to do it. Its really hard to know that its broken with out really looking for it, only reason I caught it was because I'm in process of changing the steering gear.

Had a good welder weld it back together, looks stronger then ever. Thanks all for the input.
