You can use any of the 21-31 gallon tanks out of Blazers or Suburbans. Get one of the later ones that had TBI stock and you should already have the pump, sender, straps, lines and everything and SHOULD bolt up with only minor bashing, drilling, and cussing. This is a farily common mod.

Crossmembers are different but I THINK you can just slide them around and do some drilling if you don't want to find a correct one.

I've read you can use columns from 70s vans too.

Do a search on these and see what you come up with.. Lots of this has been posted before.

If it were me, I'd keep the OD tranny out of the 2500 or the 4 speed. That truck may have evn had the 4L80e, if that;s the case, go with that!

Keep an eye that your driveshaft/pinion angle stays the same during and after the swap.
