1967 C10 gas tank swap/which gas tank?

I am wanting to relocate my gas tank on my 1967 stepside to the rear of the truck. I am installing a LT1 so would like to find a later model with a return line fitting. What gas tank will fit. I would like to find one that would fit that I can get from a junk yard to save some money. This entire truck is a budget build. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I used a tank out of an '87 suburban. Most suburban tanks from '67-'92 will work with a little work, keep in mind you'll lose your spare tire. Here's how I fit mine: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=574911

I am looking for something that will fit between the frame rails.

Early Classic Enterprises copperhead style tank. It's not a budget piece but it DOES fit!

The frame width is the same on all Chevy trucks from '67 to '87, so any of those suburban tanks will fit between the frame rails.

I put a lt1 out of a 98 truck in my 68 and put a gas tank out of a 98 s-10 2 door blazer. Fit between the rails with a little trimming.
