Re: gas tank options?
LMC and CPP have the relocation kits for this. Not to bad of a price but if you do a search on this forum you will see plenty of diff types to install.

Re: gas tank options?
I like the kit from ECE, it looks like it has much cleaner fit than the CPP tank.

Re: gas tank options?
You could use a fuel cell or a gas tank kit from LMC or Classic Parts or any place like that. Fuel cells are available in many different sizes and capacities and the tank kits are usually a blazer tank with mounting straps. Either way requires some modification so it's really just a matter of preference. I am probably going to go with a fuel cell because I'll need the ground clearance.

Re: gas tank options?
I have my tank under the bed. It SUCKS. Alot of people are doing it so somebody must like it but I wouldn't recommend it. It's the only thing about my truck that I hate. I'm likley going back to a seat tank so I can enjoy my truck.

Re: gas tank options?
has anyone ever utilized the factory fueling location and ran the filler tube to a bottom fuel tank. I suppose cutting a hole through the cab and running the filler tube against the bottom of the bed to the tank or fuel cell location is what Im asking......... just a thought?

Re: gas tank options?
Have you checked to make sure the tank is vented properly? An improperly vented tank will be a PITA to fill.

Re: gas tank options?
a full size blazer tank works well. Here ya go....
http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=234732 Check around for the guys who haul junk cars to the crusher. They're required to remove the gas tanks in most places. Around here they will give you as many gas tanks as you want for free, just to get rid of them.

Re: gas tank options?
Good ol IH I ran Scouts for a spell until they started getting expensive. The 80/800 series had those little saddle tanks and the Scout II had one in the rear like Blazers. I was unaware of the pickup configuration though. It would be nice to actually see a set up. IMO I would feel safer driving around without sitting on a gas tank. I cant say it has or hasnt happen just what if. If the tank is outside its less of a hazzard. Granted its not a ticking time bomb in your pocket either.
