Blazer tank install questions

What's up guys? I want to clean up my bed and remove the filler doors. My goal is to install a rear mount blazer tank. Has anyone done this? I know it is popular with the 67-72 set, but I searched threads and that's all I found. If anyone has done this, please post some pics and a few tips as to fabrication and whatnot. I know the resistances on the sending units are different, but what else is there I need to know? Also, is there any (somewhat inexpensive) aftermarket alternatives? Thanks guys, I'm counting on ya!

Re: Blazer tank install questions

OJOE can you see the tank hanging down below the rear bumper at all? I plan on bagging my truck and it looks like im going to have to move my tank also so i was thinking of a blazer tank but can you see it below the bumper?
