It's got to be the gas tank right.

Definitely the gas tank. The original gas tank filler is shaved.

Re: Nasty 72 in Truckin Magazine "DoubleMint"
It almost looks like the blazer tank to me which is pretty bulky. Doesn't look like they went the extra mile to get a custom fuel cell.

Re: Nasty 72 in Truckin Magazine "DoubleMint"
Yea its lacking some attention to detail for such a high dollar truck. The side trim isnt on perfect and the rear bumper looks kinda crooked or somethin but who am i kidding, id still take it lol its nicer than my current junk

Re: Nasty 72 in Truckin Magazine "DoubleMint"
Does anyone have a picture of the front of the truck?
Just wondering if they left the grill stock or changed it to a billet look. Yeah kinda sad they have the gas tank hanging down like that after the rest of the truck looks so good.

Re: Nasty 72 in Truckin Magazine "DoubleMint"
bumper is lower on pass side. Great looking truck. I'm glad to see they painted the engine and accessory mount, something that is overlooked on most swaps because "aluminum doesn't rust"

Re: Nasty 72 in Truckin Magazine "DoubleMint"
I like it, I don't know if that's the gas tank or a reflection, either way it's a sweet truck.

Re: Nasty 72 in Truckin Magazine "DoubleMint"
All that money and the side trim looks like it was put on by a third grader....spend a couple more hours and do it right.
