Hello j dawg,

Thanks for the reply. I read the post you referred to on the message board afterwards. Seems like the only viable solution is to relocate the tank(s) to someplace within the frame rails. I own a 72 K10 and have considered a Blazer tank install, not for safety considerations, but to give me more room inside the cab.

Is it possible to do the same thing on an 85 C10? The truck is completely original and with the spare tire located beneath the bed floor. I would much prefer to have my son driving around without a spare tire than with potential fuel-tank bombs strapped to both sides of the truck. Another drawback to relocation would be the filler caps w/ gates on each side of the truck. With a relocation, where are the filler cap & vent tube installed? Can the existing filler caps be used with extended piping & vent tubing? Do you know if there is a "conversion kit" complete with everything necessary available?

Thanks again for your help,

Keith
