Blazer gas tank

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

I am getting pretty close to finalizing plans on my truck, and giving it glorified car status. I figure a 6-8 would do me good or as low as I can go before I have to cut into my bed.

Ho low does a stock blazer tank hang below the frame rails. With the drop I would like it seems to low from my point of view.

I want to get rid of the side saddles because of californias gas pumps it makes it a pita to fill up, and getting gas on my shoes is bad. Real bad.

So is there any other relatively cheap solutions anyone else has done? I can afford about $250 when the project starts, but not the $600 or so it seems custom tanks start at.

Can I section a blazer tank, and keep within the above budget?

For that much I would throw a side saddle in my bed, and lock it down. Along with a protective cover, and deal with the nanny state later.
