Re: Need Some Info!
There was a member here making them for awhile, his ID is Fuelcellguy,
not sure if he is still making them or not, he's been kinda MIA as of late. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/member.php?u=8871

JC Whitney also sells those Northwest Metal Products (nwmp) tanks. You can probably find a picture on their web site.

Re: Need Some Info!
What about getting a later model blazer/burb tank from a bone yard?
Might not be 40 gallons but their larger than the one that's in there for sure. |

 That is the only one I could find... basically thoes two center straps hold the tank up to the frame. I relocated the tabs that touch the frame to a lower spot on the tank so it mounted higher. The factory rear crossmember was removed too, not a problem for me cuz of the hitch I have on the end of the frame acts like a crossmember/rock skid  I think I read someware about thoes chevy 31 gal tanks working but you have to install it backwards to line up the filler neck ~ going off memory so I could be wrong
