Re: 87 gas tank

Is there a difference between the passenger tank and driver side tank? They look the same from under the truck.

Re: 87 gas tank

Check Doreman and a tank for the side of the truck you have the filler on.
my 78 is a passenger side fill
, check your hose size and the new tank hose size (filler)
