Thanks for the info Captainfab,
I will take a look at the cost of a new one. Do you recommend anyone?

Depending on what size the tank is (gallons) and whether your truck is a longbed or shortbed, will determine if it will work or not. You might getaway with moving a crossmember and making it fit. If the one you found won't work, try looking for one in a '73 and up K5 Blazer. They are often a little smaller. Of course the for sure one is the '69-'72 Blazer, but they are pretty hard to find used these days.
If you could afford it going with a new replacement '69-'72 Blazer tank might be worth the added expense. You would have a brand new clean gas tank. Fighting a bunch of junk ending up in your carburator constantly can be frustrating. |
