What tank will fit??



Hello guys, I have a 86 chevy swb I want to do away with the dual tanks and go with the frame mounted tank under the bed. Are there any stock factory tanks that I could use from a chevy truck or do I have to go with a replacement tank kit?? Thanks

Blazer tank as I hear it is a popular swap.

Re: What tank will fit??

31 gallon blazer tank will be a tight fit on a SWB. If you got the smaller one (25 gallons?) it'll fit good. I used my stock crossmembers and welded some angle iron onto them to hold my burban tank. The biggest problem you'll run into is figuring out where to mount the filler.
Read this how-to, it pretty much sums it up and you can figure out the rest:
