Blazer Tank Install...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jorgensensc · 10-16-2003, 11:56 PM

Hey all,
I will be putting in a Blazer tank in my C10 stepside sometime this weekend or next week. Would y'all like a step by step with pictures, or does everyone have this completely figured out by now? I'm trying to gauge interest. I will also be attempting Tennman's Side marker light gas filler install on the stepside. I'm going to try and post alot of detailed pictures of the install. Is anyone interested before I start?

Would be great. I am going to try it myself this weekend so if I get into a snag a picture would be great to look at.

Primered_69,
It looks like I won't get the tank until Monday, so I don't know if it will help you too much, But I might be able to get the items needed for the sidemarker gas filler install and possibly get that started this weekend.

Primered_69 · 10-17-2003, 11:41 AM

Good deal. I am going to try to get the tank installed Saturday and plumbed in a couple of weeks.

However my bed is off right now.

Are you using plastic or metal tank

jorgensensc · 10-17-2003, 01:41 PM

I am using a metal Blazer tank. My bed is off now too, i'm doing the whole redneck cruisin thing now too.

69Custom · 10-17-2003, 02:03 PM

I would love to see the install with picts. I am very interested in the side marker install. I saw the picture and am thinking of doing the same thing with mine. I could find any information one the stepside side marker fill, found one on a fleetside side marker fill.

yes oh yes oh yes please post pics.

Already have the tank in numberoneson's '72 stepside. Bed is still off, looking to do the sidemarker fill option. I don't know if this is NOT the way to mount, but I put the straps on running front to back. Since we are putting on a hitch, the mounting straps don't interfere.

Same here man. I miss the room behind the seat I had in my 86 and have a tank I want to put somehwere under the bed asap.

After removing the tank from cab what and option for the corners of the cab? I hope I am explaining this right.(cab corner holes)
