probably going to mount my fuel filler behind the side marker light or weld in a side door from a later model. question is whatever i do it wont line up with a stock style rubber hose, where do I get the hose to go from my filler neck to the tank? thank you

i made the majority of mine with muffler pipe and bought a foot of filler hose at o'rielys. it was $17 a foot so plan it well

I'm in the process of doing this. The following mod is done by using a later model (1997+up) S-10 Fuel Neck and same years S-10 gas door for the hinge.

If using the Poly Blazer tank, you should be able to use either driver or passenger side. I am using the driver side marker light. Many board members have refered to Tennmans setup for this modification. He also uses the drivers side. Here is his link for a step by step how-to of this mod.

I think your inlet on your tank is 1 1/4 inch and the S-10 fuel neck is 2 inch. Here's how I reduced my Fuel neck. 2 inch reducer to 1 1/2 inch then 1 1/2 inch to 1 1/4 inch Now use 1 1/4 inch fuel line between to tank and fuel neck. Here's a pic of the copper hardware I'm using:

I am not finished yet so I do not have any pics yet. PS That hole in the back of the d/s fender has been filled

Good Luck

Harry

Harry, check to be sure that copper doesn't corrode when using 10% or higher ethanol gasoline. IIRC, it does and could cause problems for you.
