Gas tank relocation and ground clearance

Before you go telling me to use the "search" I have been for hours and can't find what I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for is the measurement from the bottom of your frame rails to the lowest hanging part of your tank. Basically so I can determine ground clearance on my truck and I'm sure it would help others whom are concerned about that as well. Since a lot of our trucks sit at different heights it will help take that guessing out.

I'm interested in ALL tank swaps but mainly looking at the 2 popular swaps on here the blazer tank and the 69 camaro tank , but id like to know whatever tank you've got!

Re: Gas tank relocation and ground clearance

look up Boyd's Tanks on here... lots of measurements and often a group buy.

The factory pickup RPO N18 rear tank sits above the axle centerline.

Re: Gas tank relocation and ground clearance

Here's some pictures of my Boyd Tank. My truck is bagged, and when aired out, with the rear end just hitting the bottom of the bed floor, I have 5.5" of ground clearance at the lowest part of the tank. I know it's not exactly what you were looking for, but I hope it helps. - Matt
