Re: Square Body side gas tank in 63 C10?

I would assume not without a lot of work if you're talking about the trucks tank on the side not blazer. I have an 85 I put a tank in a few years ago and I would think the rear cab mount on the 63 would get in the way. Plus the way the back cab wall slopes down. I can look tomorrow at my 85 and my 62, but I would assume not without a lot of work. I doubt it would even work with my 9 foot bed.

Definitely made in China. I couldn't even buy the aluminum for that tank for that price.

Have you changed your fuel gauge? Or do you plan to change the sender?
