I knew there was some reason I didn't like those DAMN Fords! But then again that Ford may have saved your life.

LMC's rear gas tank sucks, don't get it. it hangs way to low and looks like crap.

As if this weren't reason enough, smelling fuel is not good for you either! I am going to do the swap for the above reason and that I once had a 67 (years ago) and it leaked fumes into the truck regularly and I need all the brain cells that survived college so Blazer tank here I come. I may even fab one up myself. I have access to a TIG welder and I can buy the SS, I plan to run an LT1 and need the intank pump. mike |

How many gallons does that hold? Got any more pictures of it. Ok I am going to put some sort of a fuel tank in the back of my 70 longbed but still am unsure of a few things. So any 73-87 blazer tank will work with my mechanical fuel pump and all that? And about how low will one hang?

$25! good score I'd say that is the way to go! I tried a cell in the bed and now I have it under the bed. Now I'm looking for fuel sensor ideas for plastic cells?

I have a similar cell mounted and I have a SW fuel gauge. Works well. You'll have to run a ground wire to the body or frame for it to work though.

My only problem with installing a fuel cell between the frame rails is... Where the heck do we store the spare tire so it's not in the way and messing up a otherwise neat an clean looking truck?

here's what I did for a gas tank. One thing I alway noted about the old trucks was that the cabs always smell like gasoline.
