Ford Bronco Gas Tank Skid Plate Blueprint - Dimensions & Weld Details
Dimensioned blueprint of a gas tank skid plate showing overall measurements, 2x2 gussets, and fillet weld callouts.
This document is a fabrication blueprint/CAD drawing for a "Gas Tanks Skid Plate," credited to David Mueller. It provides dimensioned views for building a skid plate to protect a vehicle's gas tank, uploaded to a 1980 Ford Bronco gallery. The main profile view shows an overall width of 26.00 inches and a height of 8.00 inches, with an angled leading edge section measuring 7.00 inches. Bottom dimensions include 21.85 and 22.00 inches. Spacing dimensions of 6.88, 7.25, 3.00, and 8.88 inches locate features along the top edge, including 2X2 gussets called out with an arrow to two bracket-like features. A note indicates a fillet weld at the junction of the angled front section and the flat bottom. A side/plan view shows lengths of 32.00 and 32.50 inches. A small detail view at the top shows dimensions of 7.25, .00, 4.88, and 1.00 inches, apparently locating a mounting hole or bracket. A builder can use these dimensions to cut, bend, and weld a replica skid plate, though material thickness and mounting hardware specifics are not stated in the visible portion of the drawing.
