1962 gmc rear gas tank options???
 

So the lmc kit will not work, what have yall done to put a rear tank in a 62??

Thank you!!!

I used a 64 Mustang tank. I had to make a mounting bracket because it is narrower than the frame rails but it tucks up nice. The kits that I looked at hung below the bumper and I didn't like that look.

I did a 90's S10 Blazer tank, but the bed floor is also raised 4"

I got one from Boyd’s and it’s awesome. I ran a plastic fuel cell for years and it was horrible.

I did the '94 S10 Blazer tank also. It fit between the frame rails, it's 20 gallons and didn't hang as low as some of the others like the standard issue K5 Blazer tanks. It's also FI ready if you choose to go that route...

does it mount on the top flange of the tank all the way around?

I did a newer suburban 25 gal. in my 62 Suburban. Changed the spout for the side fill and made a cross suport to hold the "straps" other than that fit great.

More than anything else, I didn't want my rear tank to be hanging below the bumper. I asked this site for help, and the members came through. Here's the thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=621177

The tank hanging low was the reason I went the direction I took. I did not want to see the tank from the rear of the truck.

I have the POL 60-62 tank.

Tanks Inc USPT-GH 15 gal tank. It has two options for fill location. It doesn't hang low and you can buy it with built in fuel pump for EFI.

Unfortunately, I don't have any detailed pics of my setup but it's very similar to SirJim's '62 Suburban. The S10 Blazer tank doesn't hang quite as low though and my straps are hung front to rear.

this tank mount between the spare tire mounts? what did you do for top strap?

Re: 1962 gmc rear gas tank options???
 

Same one I decided on too

Re: 1962 gmc rear gas tank options???
 

Spare tire mounts?
I made 4 corner brackets that hold the tank in place and straps underneath.

gm sir, its made from 1 x 2 x .125 tube, I spaced it down 1" which puts the fill neck right at the top of the wood for the bed, I bought a lil door kit from tanks inc, the tank is a mustang tank...I can get the the bolts for the bed cross supports from under the frame with a swivel socket.
