Any thoughts on fuel tank?

[halfcockedcustoms]

first off I searched with no luck,,,,I am wanting to get the gas tank out of the cab on my 64..I was gonna just get the suburban tank kit,,but I'm poor/cheap,so I was also wondering about a fuel cell with sender,,for about half the price..I was told my factory sender may be 0-30 ohms and all the cells I can find are 0-90,,so is there any way to make this work?

Brothers sells a universal fit 0-30 ohm sender. You will need to check with the fuel cell manufacturer though and make sure the sending unit can be replaced.

Sending Unit: Brothers P/N ATK59SU, 0-30 Ohm Universal, $29.99

It is kind of a pain but if you will look through this search you will find some info. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...archid=1572803

There is also some here. http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/sh..._Chevy_Trucks/
look in the THE PIT STOP - Quick Reference Guide to Frequent Topics
section for info about sending units.

Hope it helps

I forgot to mention that I am thinking of using this 16 gallon tank.

I plan to use a sending unit like this.

Summit has several that will fit. With and without sending units. you will need an aftermarket gauge with there senders.

Poor/cheap... Define this so you'll get better answers. The blazer tank swap kits are usually less than or about $200. A factory replacement 'in-cab' tank costs about the same (LMC sells a replacement 'in-cab' tank for $150 & the blazer swap tank for $200).

Where can you get a fuel cell w/sending unit for $100?

Its not that hard to define,,I'm a dad of 4,so most of the time i'm broke,,so I have to be cheap..My in cab tank is fine now,I would just like to free up some room.. and for the fuel cell I have a few freinds that race and work for race shops,,so that would not be an issue

You failed to mention friends w/a race shop that could supply (build?) you a fuel cell which definitely adds clarity to the situation.
