'69 Camaro gas tank in our trucks

[smitty62]

I know Classic trucks has an article regarding putting a '69 Camaro tank in a truck, but I wondered if anyone here has done it and if they have any tips to pass on--I've held off until now because I didn't want a hole in the bed or a tortured routing of the filler to the fender. But gas fumes are getting to me. The Camaro tank filler of course exits behind the license plate, which is a winner to me. The classic people used 2x3 inch tubing for mounting, which seems like a little overkill to me, maybe not......

Type in '69 Camaro Tank' on the forum search and I think you'll find some good/detailed posts

There is no "overkill" man.

I may someday relocate the thank to the rear but I would be like you....put it behind the license plate (common for cars back then) or behind the left rear side marker.

No such thing as "overkill" man. You should see how I remodeled my ski condo....

I would like to later relocate the tank to the rear but I'd go your route (behind the license plate) or out the left side marker.

Scott... thats a pretty nice set up you have there.

Oh.. just looked at the thread KMC posted.... I hadnt planned on moving my gas tank any time soon, but I love this idea. You might have just talked me into it. Time to go get some prices on some gas tanks...lol The wife thanks you for this post...lol

Here is another one with a fleetside bed and he painted it black which I like as it hides the tank a little more.
