Great job and nice truck. Oh, and nice hat! ;):D

Sweet job! Now I know how I am gonna do mine!
Somebody needs to make sure this and the tank install thread get put into the FAQ section!

Thank's for the pic's and the really good nice step by step photos..

Excellent Documentation!!!

I have posted before, I am filling mine through a garden hose right now, ( not driving it on the street yet still ) I want to do just what you did, thanks for saving me a lot of time and aggravation..

Again, Very nice job.

Ron

Nice detail on this. This needs to make it into the FAQ section.

thanks for the detailed instructions... my question relates to the picture of the filler hose that routes under the frame to get to the tank... trying to understand how the fuel runs uphill to get into the tank...??? I guess the new style filler allows this to be possible...???

That is AWESOME!!!!You should get a patent on that , find someone to manufacture it as a kit. Man, you could retire.....Great Job...

That would be kinda tough, since it's Tennmans idea in the first place..???? :confused:

You DA MAN!!!!
 

Thank you very much for the installation pic's, very much appreciated.I found out that my light box has been modified a little,so that is where I was confused.Now I can weld some tabs on the front to mount the hinge to.All I had was a little tab on both ends where the light screws on now I can start working on it again.GOOD JOB:metal:

Thanks for all of the support guys!!!
I hope no one thinks this is my idea!!! I just modified Tennman's install for a stepside.
Bigvinnie,
It is only a slight uphill slant, and the force of the gas going through the nozzle pushes it through just fine. I have yet to have it back up on me.
Thanks again for the encouragement!!!

P.S. I don't know if Josh decides about what goes to the FAQ section, but I think both the blazer tank install and this install would be good candidates.

awesome. i wanna do this. that is if i dont shave them first...

all i gots ta say is you da man

Awsome work bro, any idea how I would adapt this to work on a fleetside?

REDNEKID I think if you do a search for tennman you will see the original which was for a fleet side.

Thanks for the great details and pictures.

Thanks for the awesome how to! I will use your demo when I do mine. Your really did a great job !!:D

I hate to raise this question but how safe is it to have an operating light right on your fuel filler door? If I'm looking at the pictures right the light looks operational.

It's not just what might happen in a minor fender-bender accident it's what might happen if the filler nozzel should damage the wiring.

I'd be inclined to make it just a reflector. It seems like the potential for spark and fumes to come together exist.

i dont think that you can have just a reflector on a 72, at least in MO, if they came with a light, i think that they have to have them (if i remember right)

I wouldn't worry too much about the wiring causing any problems during an accident, because any fumes that were being vented would be carried away by the airflow that the truck would have while moving, besides they don't really vent enough fumes to cause a problem.;) And thanks for the detailed install jorgensensc, Great job on the stepside conversion!!!!!!:metal: :metal:

toms68cst,
Your not the first to ask me this question!!I will say that I feel very secure with this setup. I will say that the as nozzle doesn't come anywhere near the light itself. Remember that you open this door regularly and would probably notice if the wires were exposed. My last point is that in tank fuel pumps have power that goes all the way into the tank. This is safer than that, IMO!!!!! Thanks again for the props!!!

Thanks to Rod and Josh this thread and the tank install are now part of the FAQ.

Great job Jorgensc

jorgensensc-
Great explanation of this install. This will help everyone.
Thanks

Outstanding! This is exactly what I want to do. I appreicate the effort you went thorough to post this stuff.

Some guys build a kind-of box inside the bed behind the marker light for the filler pipe. I'm glad to see that you didn't do that.

:metal:

thats awesome, i wish i had sidemarkers now!

Thanks for this post jorgensensc!

I went to the parts yard yesterday and got the necessary parts off of a 95 s10. Hopefully, I will be doing this mod in the near future.
