There is a thread on the blazer board about these not long ago.

I’m wrong. Actually hickey tanks go further over top of wheelwell and out rear quarter panel. Not sure on those but I would still buy them. Matt

Re: What kind of Gas Tanks are these?

Matt, I could only find one other Blazer with the filler necks in the sides of the top. Maybe someone around here knows who makes these. I am still dumping money into my other K5 and might not get to this one for awhile. If I decide to take the tanks out you can have first shot. also the tank switch is in front of drivers bucket seat just behind where you right foot sets. it must have got put there to avoid the rocker boxes. Got to get the GMC off it,I need a Chevy front clip for sure. stay in touch, a1

Sweet. I have the same top but missing tanks. Mine had a bunch of aftermarket stuff on it from a shop still around in Pleasanton. I started a tread about my too with the gas fill cut in. Now I have a pic of the fill tube. Cool

Matt, my tanks have locking caps with keys. and believe it or not, the hatch lock works and has the key to it also.

I have two of these in my 70 c10 but the filler tube is located on the small side and they get filled in the fender well in front of the rear tire. I'll post a pic of them in the am.

Not sure what these are. They were in a '70 Chevy LWB pickup.

Hey John, It's an 04 Sierra and has the DuraMax diesel engine with the Allison transmission. It has 106k miles on it. Great on fuel economy. it got 17.6 going uphill with my tilt and 18.9 coming down hill with the Blazer on board. If you ever find one make sure the vin number has the 8th digit is a 2, then it is a LLY. The early LB7 had bad injectors. I love this truck , it is very dependable and still has the factory brakes it came with.
