Another Fuel Tank Retrofit Thread....

[Hellbent]

I have seen posts of various sorts of the different kinds of fuel tanks guys have used when retrofitting to a rear mounted tank. Yes, there are a lot of custom built tanks to choose from, I am not interested in those.

What I want to do is know more about the retrofit tanks from other vehicles to use on a 67-72 build.

From searching the forum, I have found these options:

1. Blazer tank
2. 69 Camaro tank
3. 49-52 Chevy Passenger car tank

Anyone have experience with other tank swaps?

I used a 32 gallon Blazer tank. Don't remember the year. Then changed the filler neck to center so I can use either side at the gas pump. My truck is a 69/70 C-30

Man, that is a huge tank! I like your fill mount, looks good.

Thanks. Yes that was a bit of a squeeze to fit in a swb. This veiw give you a better look at how it went in. Close to the differential but it clears

Do you have a photo of the rear with the bed on? I love the idea of a large tank but that seems like it might hang down pretty low.

Yes. I built my bed but I don't know if this pic helps. I have others. The tank sits up a tad bit higher than the plane of my frame.

The rear section of that bed is removable (between the wheel wells) so the fuel tank is accessible.
