I did it!!!
Well after losing our '71 "Super" two years ago in a "T-Bone" accident. (Not our fault), I've re-entered the "game".
I just bought a '63 step side LWB. Anyway,...long story short,...(I hope). I wanted something to tinker with. Well, I've got TINKERING!!!! My first order of business is to move the gas tank from cab to under the bed. I'm not too enamored with putting the fill nozzle in the wood bed. Anyone do anything different in the earlier C10 step sides? With our '71 there was a mod to put the fill nozzle behind the tail light. Can't do that with this one. Anyone do anything different? Thanks. I'm really glad to finally be back. Jack |

Re: I did it!!!
Thanks Master Chief. At least there are some alternatives. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the original filler neck and run through the bottom of the cab back to the fuel tank.

Re: I did it!!!
I'm sure you could do that, just make sure you run a good vent line along with it.

Ain't any worse than sticking out the side of the cab, really. Maybe more vulnerable to big loads in the bed, if you put it in.

Re: I did it!!!
I was thinking stick it in the fender somewhere. Out the back, the side behind the wheel (could do a door there or graft a 67-72 Suburban/Panel filler), or in the front of the fender.
