1970 C-10 rear tank... Please help, need advice fast.
Hey guys, long time no see! So my truck is in the finishing stages... I haven't been on much and haven't posted any photos of progress... But I just got the body parts back... Frame has been done a while, powder coated and all new bolts... I will update with everything soon, but I have run into a problem with the fuel tank.
I purchased a LMC blazer tank to fit in the rear of the truck... The tank was in and everything looked great, until I placed the bed of the truck back on... The furthest rear cross member sits right where the filler nozzle is located on the tank... NOTE: DONT USE BLAZER TANK ON YOUR TRUCK! So I am on a time constraint now and I face a dilemma... Either I fix the tank I already have by moving the filler so it will work, or I just buy a new tank. My problem is I don't want to order a new tank and have similar issues, so I am asking you guys for advice/help on what tank to use. I do not have many options on changing anything on the frame at this point since the truck and frame are done in regards to paint and powder coating... Please help!

There are quite a few posts about this problem on the board. I can't tell you where they are because I have never done it. If you type "Blazer tank install" into the Google search box at the top of the page and click in the circle in front of "67-72chevytrucks.com" I'm sure you will find some threads on the subject. A lot of people have successfully used the Blazer tanks. On another note your choice of descriptive words is in bad taste for a family oriented message board...  LockDoc

I have gone through the search engine several times and have not found a definitive answer on what I am looking for.
I am looking for someone who has already installed an aftermarket tank with a side fill.
