Are blazer and suburban gas tanks different? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I have a 70 blazer and a 70 suburban. I need a new tank for my blazer, and the one on the suburban is good. I would like to use it, but was wondering if they were different? It seems that the suburban one has a indentation running across the top of it like it's meant to fit around a crossmember.

So are they actually different and will it fit?

This is the Suburban gas tank. You can see it on the bottom of the picture.

My 1970 K5 has a tank out of a 1972 2wd burb in it. Worked just fine!

i think in the lmc mags, the suburban tank is a gal bigger.

My Jimmy has an 72 burn tank in it! The filler neck is a little diff but they will work

Good. This is what I wanted to hear. I have a 90 blazer 31 gal tank I want to use when I finally get it assembled, but I'd like to use this while I am working on the other stuff so I can move it around the garage. The drivetrain works fine, Just off a gas can, so I'd rather have a factory tank instead of the can.
