Fuel tank skid plate wanted
 

I am looking for an original fuel tank skid plate for my 71 cst blazer. I am interested in buying or trading if anyone has one.
Thanks
Bill

I didn't know there was such a thing. Add that to my "want" list.

I have only seen one, and I was outbid on ebay. Not all blazers or jimmy's came with them, so they are tough to find.

I am pretty sure they were included in the "skid plate" option. I have seen a few but I think almost all of them rusted out, they were basically just a tub that moulded around the bottom of the tank. Dirt and moisture got stuck up in them and rusted them out.

My spare Blazer has the Fuel tank skid plate and the transfer case skid plate- But you need to spend $4500 for all my stuff to get them

come on Leinie, we need some parts.:D :D

Seriously, you'll be sorry if you sell everything. You should finish one and part off what's left to us.;)

Leinie- Maybe you (or someone) has pics of what the skid plate looks like and I can fab them up for a reasonable price. Let me know who is interested and what a good cost is and if I look at the pics maybe I can make one (or two or three:D )

I would be interested in one, depending on price obviously.

Davy

I can get some pics and e-mail them if you give me your address, It won't be until next week though.

Address is Averyarc@comcast.net Thanks Leinie!
Once I see how to make them I will let you know what I can make them for and see if the price is okay before I start one.

I had one on my last 4x4 Blazer. I wish I had a pic.

Here are a couple of pics of mine. It came off a blazer with skid plate listed and didn't have a transfer case skidplate. It is in very good condition.

I have a new one that I bought off of eBay. It hasn't been installed yet.

If you need more pictures, I can help with them.

more pics Brian.

Does it look like the one above? Does it provide much protection?

Yeah, it looks like it will support the blazer if you chose to lift the whole truck by the fuel tank. At a guess it weighs 20 lbs.

I'll take some pics this weekend.

Brian

how much did it cost?

My blazer has the skid plate package too, but I took them off to clean and get powder coated. Whan I get them back Ill get pics. I got them done in silver.

I have one in the back of my truck. I just brought it back up from Chico tonight and its for sale! I have no use for it but I remembered I saw this post. email me @ pbjohnson2@aol.com
otherwise, I will be using the torch and find a use for the metal.

I'd be interested in some skid plates too.

Kilomanjaro,
You have email and are 1st shot on it.
If that falls through. The next in line is LT 72, then New Bomb.
When I get the truck unloaded, ill post pictures. Its is a factory stock item off a 71 Blazer. Great shape

Didn't "wildbill" start this thread? Shouldn't he have a shot at it if he wants it?
