Where to put the air tank on the Blazer? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Where do you Blazer guys have your air tank(s). I wanted to put mine under the blazer, but with the gas tank and the rocker boxes there really isn't much room. Where do you guys have them? Pictures?

I don't have quick access to my Blazer,... but is there room "under" the rear seat for a tank? I think under the truck would be better. Like two small 3 gallon tanks, on each side of the gas tank. (outside of the frame rails). Only other choice is "behind" the rear seat. Has anyone done this to a BLAZER before?

Mines an 82 so it's a bit different, but we put them beside the frame in the rear....

lolife99, there really isn't any "under" to under the seat. Only a few inches.
N2TRUX - is that a 3 gallon tank? I assume you have 1 on each side. I may be able to squeeze one under each side, I will have to go out and measure.
PS - I was in the grocery store the other day in the magazine section, noticed your truck immediately. Great article - and nice shout out to the board

I had a 7 gallon underneath my 74. We mounted it inside the frame rail on the passenger side. I only had room because i was running a single exhaust instead of dual.

No that's a 5 gallon tank. It looks smaller than what it is.

Thanks for the compliments. I figured since this forum is what got me the truck I better give it props...
