What would you do - advice please

I have a 70 that I had grand plans for, but never got around to actually doing. I was going to do the blazer tank swap - bought all the parts - sold all the original fuel system stuff, but now I don't want to go that route - I think that it would be too complicated. Should I buy all new parts for cab in tank - which is easier, or go forward with the blazer tank idea?

I also have no interior parts - I was going to do a custom interior with newer seats, etc. Should I buy original parts just to get on the road?

Please advise

You have to build the truck to suit you.There's tons of ideas out there and you need to decide on a build plan.The Blazer tank really is an easy swap,the only hard part is the filler.Even that can be easy if you just run the filler to the bed floor.
A plan for what you want to do is the best investment you can make.If you change directions in the middle of a build you will pay for it.it's like making changes to a house as you build.

Yeah after looking at some of the prices - I better continue with the parts I have. I know there are a million ideas for the filler using a blazer tank, but since I never use the bed - what would be the easiest / least fabrication involved?
