Re: Got a new toy coming home next week guys :D

Ok guys here are the gas tank issues I talked about the gas tanks are identical except for the angles of the filler necks. I can't return the tank I have so am working on creating a piece to mimic the bend in the American classic tank setup. The American classic 60-66 tank is identical to the tank I have from lmc BUT the 67-72 gas tank for the suburbans and blazers has a different filler neck attached which will work better in a suburban. Only thing I really have to do after getting the right pipe is rewire the fuel gauge for the 90 ohm sender in the tank nothing to that. Main thing is finding a 45 degree bend piece of 1 3/8" OD pipe to get it over the frame lip. HEre are some pics to look at. I tried installing it as is but the fuel hose to connect to the filler neck crimps to much and would make it slow to fill. The lmc tank is great if you are doing through the bed floor setups but not so hot for the suburbans like I have lol. I may have found a supplier for the metal tubing I need but have to call them Monday ( they are in California (spd exhaust) also there is a cnc tubing place in Marysville about an hour from me I cam going to call as well and see what they can do for me as well.
