Sweet! I appreciate it i plane to compensate the wheel base difference with ORD zero rate set up. Seems pretty cut and dry, i appreciate the help! Hopfully ill be able to post some progression soon, my reason for the swap is my frame is bent on my 69 and i have a lifted suburban with a junk body. I will probably keep the in cab tank. But great build man glad i found a forum about it i was unsure about starting it. Thanks!

Any updates? I wrecked my K10 short this past weekend bending the frame. Burbs are fairly in-expensive and could be a cool route to go. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I ended up finding a blazer tank with skid plate and rear brakets hole are on suburban frame for bracket fits perfect behind bumper

Doing almost the exact same swap right now with my '72 GMC onto a '89 suburban chassis right now. How did you get your mounts to line up so nicely? any pics of them in particular?
