Post Questions on moving gas tank

If I wanted to buy a used tank, what should I be looking for? I have heard that a tank from a Blazer would work, but what year? And for the sending unit and lines, is there a kit for this? Or do you have to buy it separate. Any advice is more than welcome. Thanks guys

The blazer tanks will fit in a LWB truck with a little modification.It will fit in a swb leaf spring also but it is a pain in the a#$ to put one in a SWB COIL spring setup.I took all the lines and such from the donor vehicle.Any vendor will have a sender unit set-up for you.

You can get a tank from a 69-72 blazer, I have a plastic 69-72 blazer replacement tank. It fits fine.
