Just curious as to how many people have left it the way GM engineered it?

**aerotruk63** · 04-26-2012, 07:05 AM

One!

Mines there, but only till i get the $$ for an under bed tank. Sorry, beyond the fact that I just don't like sitting in front of a "bomb" I also smoke and my kids will ride in that truck...... Not while I'm smoking tho!

plainred65 · 04-26-2012, 07:45 AM

Mines still there, no plans on changing it. That makes two!

Just got through changing mine again. I had the blazer tank installed about 5 years ago behind the rear axle. Now that I have lowered it some more I just changed it while going through changing out my gas lines to braided stainless lines I decided to put an aluminum gas tank in as well. I have the tank out and don't have any plans for it if you would like to get it. It fits perfectly between the frame rails and has the flanges that allow you to bolt it right up under frame. Just let me know as I thought about selling it and don't want alot for it. might save you some money, just have to ship if not local.

doobiebro · 04-26-2012, 10:03 AM

12th....Had a 66 GMC back in the highschool days and when the fuel gauge was on the E (empty) I would in a slow forward motion hit the brakes hard and hear the fuel splashing in the tank...Thats how I knew if I still had fuel left to make it to the pumps....lol..

jonzcustomshop · 04-26-2012, 10:12 AM

I still have it in 3 of my trucks.
only reason I would have for changing it to a rear tank is to shave the filler neck off the cab, which is what happened to my 60/61

18 and it'll stay that way.

64shortbox · 04-26-2012, 10:21 AM

#18 here, I want to keep my spare under the truck where it belongs and not have floating around in the bed of the truck. I also have a receiver hitch and plan on using the hitch a LOT.

jchav62 · 04-26-2012, 10:24 AM

All three of ours still have the original in-cab tanks.
