Re: LMC rear gas tank install

I got my tank from www.truckandcarshop.com at a goodguys show. I paid $150 cash for it. You usually get things cheaper there. Also, they were selling for $160 but all I had left was $150 so I got it for that. I guess you can do that with them. They sell them in their catalogs for $195. I still have to get some rubber insulators for the straps where it holds on to the tank. I just wanted to get it in. I got the fuel filler hose from a friend of mine for nothing. That saved me about $50 for that little piece. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.

Re: LMC rear gas tank install

Thanks for posting photos and thanks for the pricing info Chevy fleetside!.
I was planning to head to the truck show in Carlisle to get one of these tank kits. Just what I save in the oversize shipping will pay for the gas there and back.

I thinking about a '49 to '52 chevy car tank instead, not decided. The blazer tank install seems more common, easier to buy and cheaper, which is good. I found the '49 to '52 tank idea on the Stovebolt website.

Hey SSWfleetside, you mentioned the blazer tank seeming more common. What year of blazer will work and are you talking about a fullsize blazer or mid?

The pics I posted are of the blazer tank. It is the same tank that is used in the 67-72 blazers. They are sold as a kit and you can get a 0-30 or 0-90 ohm sending unit.
