Not so strange.Many trucks were ordered the way the purchasher wanted.Trucks were just becoming regular vehicles at the time instead of the workhorses they had been.You could go thru and check off the options wanted.So someone who had always had a basic truck may have been in an area where the climate warranted an A/C but still wanted standard features because that's what they were used to.

I think you might have to notch one of the cross sills under the bed. There are a few threads on it though...

I used a blazer poly tank too for the GMC. I was concerned about using fuel compatable hoses for filler tube. As some say radiator hose may create additional problems later. Figured two choices would be best solution. Either go to a exhaust shop and have them fab what you need with bent pipe or to your boat shop dealer they have bulk fuel hose you can buy by the foot. As far as filler door several on ebay or a junk yard. good luck with the install.

I'm going simple filler on my aluminum tanks... trap door in the wood floor...

Looks good but don't see any vent lines.
