Looks great so far, I did have a quick question, the jeep tank seems to be a good fit and size I want to use in my 66 c10 build, did you use the chevy fuel pump assembly or the jeeps, I am trying to build on a budget and want to find a small tank that fits in the frame and will use the chevy pump and sending unit I all ready have.

You bought the custom trim for 180? if so I think that is cheap mine wasn't bad price wise when I got it but it was in rough shape so I am in the process of sanding and buffing it. Thanks for the info!

hi crx150zc the tank and pump and tank are both jeep, but im sure some chevy fuel injection pumps are the same size,but the stock chevy sender will not work.the pump size is 3-1/2 i dont know the pressure output on the jeep pump,but im not that concerned about it i work for ford and we have plenty of pump motors that will push enough pressure to run the chevy engine,if you need more pictures or have any questions just yell thanks,by the way the jeep tanks are cheap and ebay has them
