DIY Gas Tank Skid Plate Blueprint - 1/4" Steel Plans (1980 Ford Bronco)
Dimensioned blueprint of a gas tank skid plate with hole and edge measurements in inches and a 0.25 steel material note.
This document is a homemade CAD blueprint titled "Gas Tanks Ski[d]" (title cut off, evidently 'Gas Tanks Skid'), drawn by David Mueller and uploaded as plans for a gas tank skid plate for a 1980 Ford Bronco. The drawing shows a large rectangular steel plate with mounting tabs along its edges, each tab containing drilled holes. Notes on the drawing state that all units are in inches, the material is 0.25-inch (1/4") steel, and all holes are 0.625-inch (5/8") diameter. Visible dimensions include 8.88, 7.25, 4.88, 1.00, and paired .50/.50 callouts locating hole positions on the mounting tabs, plus a .00 datum reference. The right side of the drawing (and part of the title block) is cropped by the scan, so overall plate length/width dimensions are not fully visible on this page. The uploader's caption reads "Here are my plans," and a companion file (gaskidplate2.jpg) in the same album likely contains additional views or dimensions. A reader can learn the material specification, hole size, and partial hole-spacing dimensions needed to fabricate this DIY fuel tank skid plate.
