I used the old tank straps off the 5.3 truck .i just flattened them out and reshaped them to fit the s10 tank .had to add a few inches to the straps though.it works well and looks great

@ratrodmiller
Reading your post and looking at your pictures as I am building 49 GMC and I noticed on your third post with images that the motor mounts are upside down...did you do this on purpose? If so please let me know why as I am about to weld mine in!

ratrodmiller · 09-06-2009, 11:45 PM

well when i mocked the engine into the frame this was this best way the mounts fit my frame, i really didnt know how they were made to go . this was the best for my truck.

ratrodmiller · 02-04-2011, 09:45 PM

ratrodmiller · 02-04-2011, 09:49 PM

The project is coming right along; looking good. What fuel tank are you running. My engine is lq4 6.0 and I am looking for a fuel tank set up for a pump, feed and return lines.

ratrodmiller · 02-06-2011, 10:57 AM

I used a 20 gallon 1986 s10 bazer tank and fuel sending unit, put i new high pressure pump on it from summit, and these also has the return you need,I had to cut of the factory fittings off sending unit and use tube nut adapters to -6 an fuel line adapters worked out great.
