Re: Some pics of my Blazer
The Tank swap was pretty straight forward. Got a new tank for a 87-91 Blazer, Sending unit and pump from a '87 'Burban (junkyard). Had to remove the rear crossmember. Made some new crossmembers front and back (straps go front to back, not side to side like the stock tank) Made some spacers out of 1-1/2" C-chanel to go between the tank flange and the frame. If you have a body lift you won't need this. The stock straps for the truck actually fit the new tank! (the new tank is as long as the stock one is wide) The filler is on the wrong side, so I removed it (it's soldered in) ,cut a new hole and soldered it in the new hole, then patched the old hole with some sheetmetal and soldered it all up. I had a receiver hitch behind the liscence plate, but I had to remove it because it hit the new tank. I will need to to some fabbing to get it to fit again.
