Oh, I dunno, in combination with a NWMP, Aero or Hickey tank (which they look really similar to) rear tank conversion it could be something pretty cool for a short bed, a long bed or maybe even a Suburban. Do they belong on a Blazer in lieu of rocker boxes, uh, no that's probably a bad plan.

I wasn't sure if they could go into a truck or something with minimal modifications. As far as blazers go, these are garbage, but for trucks or suburbans?

There's ongoing debate about the need to remove the tank from the cab on these trucks (no, it's not necessary), but putting tanks on each side of the frame rail directly under the cab? That's kind of like walking around in a thunderstorm with a 10 ft metal pole in your hands.
