Re: Rear Tank Short Stepper Pics ?
As promised, here is a link to the final job, perfectly done by Livrat.
He used the entire blazer neck right up to the final inches. This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sweet! I can't begin to tell you how nice this is [and how happy I am with his work; he did a bunch of other stuff, too, same quality. Charged exactly what he quoted, finished on time, flawless work]. The only tiny glitch is that with the stock blazer neck, the vent tube empties into the neck under the cap. It won't even THINK about filling with the tiny hole in the cap. You just take off the cap and it will fill at full force from the pump. If the vent tube is added so that it vents to the outside air in the cup, the fumes would keep me pretty tense since I almost always have a lit cigarette in my mouth. That was the reason that Mark used as much of the blazer neck as possible- when the cap is on the vent is sealed and can't blow fumes to the outside air. The fella with that gorgeous blue truck [sorry, i have only seen his truck, never met him so can't remember his name] installed his fuel fill in the top of the rear stake pocket [fleet bed, and a GREAT job] discussed utilizing another of the outlets on the tank. I heard that and did the same, and ran that hose up with the other two. That hose got the motorcycle racer's one-way valve that only allows air IN, not out. This prevents locking up with a vacuum. The filler, inside on the bedside, isn't even noticed- it just looks 'factory'. The fella that did the work on 'Lemon Drop' [RocKrin?] posted a very detailed how-to that got this started, and was kind enough to help with a couple of emails. This board is a terrific resource for those of us still workin' on our trucks. Many Thanks to all! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ight=windancer
