NM OEM parts for the rare 1970-only auxiliary rear fuel tank - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DeadheadNM** · 09-10-2013, 10:01 AM

Yes the very rare 1970-only aux tank that was mounted in the rear Blazer style. I have the harness and toggle for the dash mounted sending switch, fuel valve with mounting bracket (way different from the 72-only aux design), the lever used to switch the valve from one tank to the other, plate for the door sill, fuel neck, etc.

What is lacking: 1) fuel neck cover I needed for my Blazer (any Blazer or 72 aux tank cover will work) and 2) Blazer tank/straps (can be bought easily).

$105 plus shipping - will consider partial trade for the little metal brackets with rubber blocks used on blazer tops as wedges to keep down side-to-side hatch movement or blue 3/4t Spicer hub dials

Will post more pics for anyone seriously interested. The rod, plate, and valve are not shown below.

I need just the sheet metal cover that goes over the filler on the inside of the bed. Would you sell it by itself for $50 including shipping?

Remember that one I just sold - turns out my Blazer didn't have one. Doh!! I shouldn't have sold it

This cover (as discussed above) will be used for my Blazer. Sorry man.

Will do - it operates the valve: one end of the rod enters the cab (handle for the valve) and the piece itself extends posterior to join the valve. On the 72-only aux tank the valve stem extends up through the floor - no rod needed.

Hey Pete....here is a link to pictures of my factory setup...so cst204x4 can see what the rod looks like when installed....

Guys...this is a rare and desirable option for a 1970...they work really nice.

Thanks Larry!

Here's another pic. The plate and wiring are packed for my move in a box somewhere with 72-only aux tank parts and aux battery wiring - I will dig for these and snap pics if still interested. The harness is intact - and plate is usable but not perfect - some paint loss IIRC

Vintage Windmills · 09-10-2013, 10:13 PM

Pete, I will get in line for this.

**cst204x4** · 09-10-2013, 11:24 PM

I will pass to vintage windmills since my truck has upper side trim and this option was not available with upper trim thanks for extra pics and info Pete

Huh - Very interesting - I'd not considered fuel neck location in relation to the trim. In 72 the neck was placed above the trim. Thanks for interest. Jud?

**cst204x4** · 09-11-2013, 07:08 AM

Yea according to a post by roger0080 he posted from 1970 dealer book not available with upper paint stripe or upper trim thanks Mike
