How can I relocate my tank....
 

Any step by steps out there. I'm assuming it's not expensive. what tanks can i use? what will i need? Electric fuel pump... etc. thx.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

how much $ ya lookin at spending. Chepaest way would be blazer tank (currently doing one to my 68) or a summit racing tank.

If your lookin' at spending some coin fuelcellguy made some really good lookin tanks..

Whats your budget, also where is millington tn? im in middle tn.

No step by step but searh around check out my build thread in the next few days i'll be installing mine i'll have some pics/info for ya.

What kind of filler can I use with my blazer tank. For now i'll proly be cuttin a hole in the bed floor. What can I use (looking for a lid or some kind, dont want to be permanent though). Thanks

Well as far as money goes i'm kinda strapped and some good info on what to look for in a scrap yard would be most useful! Doesn't have to be pretty, just efficient! If I use a blazer tank, what years should I use, and will i need an electric fuel pump? I don't even care if it sits in the bed as long as it works!!!!!!!! Thanks for the advice!!!!

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

You don't need an electric fuel pump, just need to re-plumb your fuel line. If you are a little strapped, ask yourself why you are doing it in the first place - it doesn't create any more room in the cab (except for an amp) and it doesn't make the truck any safer. I opted to leave mine where it was, and I had the resources to do pretty much whatever I wanted.

measure the hole you want to put tank in and if needed draw a picture take tape measure with you to junkyard// most junkyards around here dont have gastanks in the vehicles

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Well I guess I just want to get it out from behind me, and I plan on putting in some newer seats with a console and would like to have as much room as i can. I mean, i should be able to do it with a couple hundred bucks right? Thanks for the advice tho.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Just to give you an idea, here is one of the Blazer tanks used for the converserion from LMCTruck.

It the lower right picture. FYI....

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

You can probably take the tank out from behind the seat and put it in the bed up against the cab.We just did this on a Ford and it fit about as perfectly as you could ask for. The bolt holes in the tank lined right up with the lip on the bed making it really easy to bolt in.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Thanks guys!!!! I'll post pics when i get it done.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Anybody know the dimensions on the 21 gal tank above. Thanks

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Out of sight, out of mind! I guess I am a little paranoid as far as theft or vandalism, so I am going under the bed on my build.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

I have seen a salvage yard Dodge Dakota tank used very inexpensively.

I do not know what year it was that was used. Like cdowns said, do some measuring and then hit the salvage yards.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Can't help you on the tank but nice truck!. I am suprised I haven't seen it roaming around Millington at some point, I know it would have caught my eye.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

There is a thread somewhere using an S10 tank. It was pretty low budget.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....

im in oakland and nothing at the moment im looking at a 72 swb

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Looks like you finally sold the bumper ya bought from me. There is no real cheap way to do this conversion but there is plenty of info on the site. Just do a search and there is tons of stuff that will come up.

Check out Bruce88's build here...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...318544&page=11 post #252
He does a great job explaining how and why he does things....send him a PM too...I'm sure he'd help you out w/ any questions too....Good Luck!!!

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

do you still have that frame with the axles on it?

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Nope sold it. short frames dont last long. too many people wanting to convert.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Going to purchase a 75 lwb today for a donor. Will the gas tank off of it fit under the bed of my 68? Has anybody here used one of those? Also if i can use the 5 lug setup off of it that should mean that my stuff should go back on the other right? I'm just going to turn around and re-sell the truck after i'm done getting the parts i need off of it.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

Two pictures to give you an idea.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

75 will have a tank that runs along the frame rail right behind the cab I think. Not what has been pictured. Also, the 5 lug rear on that truck will be leaf springs not coils. You could use the front but the front is also readily available elsewhere.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

I wasn't going to use the whole rear axle just the outers and keep my rearend.

Re: How can I relocate my tank....
 

That 75 is probably a 10blt axle. If so and IIRC the axleshafts will not swap. If its a 12 bolt though you can swap the shafts with no issue.
