Rotating stepside Fenders?
Hey guys, I have a 71 stepside that I just put a 73-87 stepside bed on. I am planning on pulling the gas tank from behind the seat in the cab, and installing a Blazer tank in the back between the frame rails. I got this idea that if I pull the fenders off swap sides, the location of the fuel door will be at the back of the driver's side with is a perfect location for the Blazer tank. I can remove and relocate the steps easy enough, but I am wondering if without the step, are the fenders the same front and rear? They look the same to me to where it would work....

Re: Rotating stepside Fenders?
I am positive they are wider at the front then the back, so there would be issues with the mounting holes.

where the step attaches to the fender, the fender is cut in the same shape as the step,

Re: Rotating stepside Fenders?
why not just cut out the cap, tack in a piece of sheet metal then cut and tack the cap where you want it?

Re: Rotating stepside Fenders?
See the pic, I've got the fuel door set up, not just a hole for a cap. I would like to use that. That's some pretty serious welding that I don't know how to do. Maybe I can run a long filler hose from the stock location.
