My truck is a 68 C10 LWB 2WD. Maybe the more direct way to look at this is, what dimension for side fill above the tank mounts do you make the neck stand up? Please note I included measurements in my post so you could compare the tank I got with the way you are currently building them. Also note in your post 409 (last pic) the side fill neck stands up noticeably higher than mine. Is there a chance that mine was simply done wrong? Were the mounting brackets placed too high, the filler tube cut too short?
I spent $100 to get this fixed Friday. If you want to do something to make that right, LMK. Would make me feel better about the whole deal.
Picture of the original tank. Notice bottom of filler tube is 3.625" above the mounting bracket.
Picture of tank AFTER FIX - BIG difference. Notice bottom of filler tube is now 4.875" above the mounting bracket.

I was up half the night lastnight trying to understand why you are having problems with your tank and noone else is. I studied the dimensions that you supplied and the mounting tabs are in the correct position (3" down from the top of the tank) however your 2" filler pipe is only 2.5" up from the top of the tank and it should have been 3".
I am glad that you were able to get it fixed either way. Email me your name and mailing address and I will pay for your repairs.
