new to this forum and needing info on relocating gas tank - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mustanglx347 · 05-04-2004, 12:57 PM

Hello all, finally found a good info site for my two trucks (71 chevy stepside swb and 1950 chevy 5 window). I am working on my '71 at the moment and i currently have an RCI fuel cell in the bed but would like to actually relocate a gas tank between the rear frame rails under the bed.

My question is, does anyone make a kit, or can I use a tank out of a blazer or suburban? Is there a tech write up on this project anywhere?

Thanks in advance

I don't get out much, but does F$#d still make cars? I thought they only made tractors. Oh, on that stepside, you can put the filler cap behind the driver's side marker light...way cool.

Here are a few links to help you decide.

Kenny's Trucks has complete kit. Tank, mounts, and sender. The neck needs to come from a junk yard.

Figured i may catch a little flack for my handle

but, just to let you guys know, the stepside was my first vehicle I ever owned and I have had it for over 17 years( I got it when i was 16). The mustang has a 347 stroker with a 150 shot of nitrous. It is almost done so I thought I would concentrate on my two trucks now.

Anyway, thanks for the replies.

Hey as long as the trucks will be faster and way more kool then I guess it is OK! I would still change your handle to Chevy#1-71!LOL

If you go with a new blazer kit, DO NOT get one that is poly or plastic. Get a steel one, you'll have far less problems.
