[99 to Life]

5-3 Saturday, got 20g blazer tank for 70 shipped, however I have to find a sending unit for it, since the s10 one I have won't work. I'm going to have a hidden gas gauge and use a 90ohm sending unit, rather than trying to retrofit a 30hm and use the stock gas gauge.

first pic you see I tore out the xmember in the rear that held the spare tire. I added an extremely beefy piece of 2x4 tubing .5" wall. Then I added a couple xmembers 1.5x1.5" that the tank will mount up to. I'll do some more reinforcing in the back as well, waiting on material to build the tank straps and or build the skid plate for it that will hold it up.

My filler tube is actually from the truck, just repurposed. I gotta weld a tap to it and to the bed so it will bolt to the bed and be secure. I like the location of the filler out by the fender, I don't like fender fillers and I really didn't want a bed filler. I'll get a locking cap and paint it black so you won't really see it. I also got to fab up the bed pillar in the back there.

I also finished up my rear cab mounts. I think next weekend I'm tearing body off to start prepping frame, then I got to get back on finalizing the cab.
