im building a 1983 chevy c-10 stepside, its gonna be lowered 3 inch in front and 5 in rear, with a fuel cell under bed back by tail gate, im trying to decide what would look better a roll pan or the factory chrome bumper, or anything else that looks cool and hides as much of the fuel cell as possible any and all pics are apperacited

Re: pics of your rears please
 

Why are you going with a fuel cell? They hand really low when installed in the rear. Unless you need a cell for safety regulations, I would consider a Blazer tank instead.

yea i like a blazer tank idea better. heres mine. tucked in

heres mine with the original fuel cell, then the new one

Re: pics of your rears please
 

well to be honest i picked a fuel cell because i didnt know a blazer tank would work and i just never really thought of that as an option, how hard is it to install one, under the bed back by the bumper? and does anyone have pics of roll pans/ rear bumpers on a step side? thanks

Re: pics of your rears please
 

A 16 gallon fuel cell will fit your truck just fine, and be concealed if run with a back bumper.

I'll post pics later with my back bumper installed so you can see.

from what ive heard its tricky to run dual exhaust out the back with the blazer tank. correct me if i am wrong.

Re: pics of your rears please
 

Dump it. :metal:

Re: pics of your rears please
 

has to exit the truck beyond the cab in Pennsylvania to be legal. but i dont care about legal because my brother inspects my vehicles!

Re: pics of your rears please
 

Same in Texas..... I have mine shoved before the rear axle. Sounds amazing, and I'm legal. :)

Re: pics of your rears please
 

One thing the stepsides have going for them is the variety of tail light treatments that you can do. Mine has a roll pan with cutouts for the exhaust and '39 Ford dual tail lights with the blue dot. When I get it back from the shop, I will post a pic. I used oval fog lights frenched into the roll pan for back up lights.

How one of the smart@$$s on this board hasn't put a picture of his OWN backside up here in this thread is completely beyond me. I don't know whether to be pleasantly surprised or disappointed. Maybe we just have a classier crew of denizens here on this board.

Please don't encourage anyone. What has been seen, cannot be unseen...;)

Re: pics of your rears please
 

Preach it brother. My K20 is set high so I know it is not the kind of rear end he is looking for in this thread or I would post my own.

legal and SAFE...
Carbon monoxide at idle and all.....

Re: pics of your rears please
 

Oh, I thought about it....I did...but I like posting on this site. :lol:

Re: pics of your rears please
 

here, old custom bumper, would look better on a cranked up 4x

and then new, factory bumper with custom mounts to snug it up, and also some led tails to clean it up

Re: pics of your rears please
 

deff cant wait to see the pics, i wanted to do something a lil different with the tail lights also, i like the iron cross, i found a set on ebay, but not sure if i want to use them now, so i guess i should of posted that i wanted to see rear bumper/ roll pans and tail light ideas for step sides just to see what you guys have done

Re: pics of your rears please
 

Bark, that looks 100x better man. Thumbs up!
