I did a bit more measuring the other day on my frame. The only way to get a camaro or chevelle gas tank to fit, is to have it mounted under the frame. If you look at how the camaro tank is fitted, it is under the frame, positioned where a spare tire would more than likely go.

If you look at a blazer tank mounting, this tank is a great deal stocker build (small size, but chunky), it fits between the frame rails for the added protection.

I also looked are a variety of other GM tank from the 60-70's. I was able to find one tank from a Caprice, that was thinner size for the frame rails. However, it was 10-12inches longer than the Camaro tank and would be difficult to mount and possibly interfer with the axle/pan hard bar.

So, to make a long story short, a Camaro tank will work, but it isn't between your frame rails. IMO, I want the added safety of being mounted between the frame rails.
