fuel tank swap question???
Ok got my tank swap kit from the UPS guy . removed the bed because there are some other things i want to do. removed the small brace in the middle. went to put the tank in and cant figure out the straps. Anyone have any pics of how these go??? and what did you use for the padding between the tank and straps because it didnt come with anything. Ill post some pic's ASAP.

I dont have an answer for you, but a question.
With this new tank, what do you have to do about connecting the org. fuel line to it? |

Re: fuel tank swap question???
sorry for the lack of info, the kit came from CPP and it is the blazer relocation kit. As for the fuel line i bought a couple feet of gas line from the auto parts store. i cut the hard line were it meets the frame and ran the line back to the tank from there. All this is on a 66 short wide fleet. Well with the brothers kit i have a good idea how the J bolts should go now but still have no clue for the other end of the strap lol. Any pics of this kit installed would be of great help.

On mine, the drivers side of the strap bolts to the frame, and the j-bolts go through holes ( had to drill 1, used one existing hole) on the passenger's side frame. You might have to notch that brace you removed for clearance.

Re: fuel tank swap question???
oh, I thought you meant the bed brace... that's the one that will have to be notched. In pic #3, it's the rearward main brace sitting on top of the frame.
