Re: My 73 c10 project.....

here you go maxxxy sorry about this taking so long bro i didn't know where to put this pics for you and i didnt want to hi jack your thread but this is how i decided to run my gas tank on my 77 that i body dropped i realized that a blazer or suburban tank wasn't gonna work on my truck since i had placed my panhard bar right behind the axle and the panhard bar is an pretty long and it seats on a angle and a fuel cell would had worked but i can use that money to put it somewhere else on the truck where people ar gonna see it and the gas tank will be under my bed floor anyway.... now i dont know if this would work for you since im not sure how high you gonna raise your bed floor and what your currently running behind the axle and this should be done before you built the frame to raise your bed floor....... i started by notching the frame right behind the axle 2 inches so the gas tank will sit 2 inches lower here are some pics....

Re: My 73 c10 project.....

I can definitely understand that. Very true, that most people won't see it under there.

Re: My 73 c10 project.....

Thanks for getting this for me, i really appreciate it. This is a really cool idea man. I never would've thought to do it like that. The only thing that might limit me is What you said, how much I raise my bed. But I have a question.
Does this setup require you to run a roll pan or could you still run a stock bumper?

Re: My 73 c10 project.....

I watched this build since day one but didn't have an account made so never commented on it. Absolutely amazing!!! All of your trucks are top notch. I have a question about your notch and bridge kit as well as the 4 link and panhard bar. They are from AVS right? What are your thoughts on the set up? I have an 82 that i am bagging and I have an AOL set up in the rear right now but Its not low enough for me... Oh and any more pictures of that dually??

Any time, quality work deserves recognition. Sounds good, ill start saving my pennies for it then. The 73 isn't Zd is it? You just have cupped LCA's and drop spindles?
