Gas Tank Size
I was thinking about changing out my gas tank and sending unit. After looking inside the tank I was amazed how clean and rust free it was. So I will not be getting a new gas tank. My question is what size tank is in now? It is a 1978 79 K5 Blazer. I need this information to order the right sending unit.
Thanks, John

Well here it is 2018, got the engine in and it runs, now I need to get the exhaust system in so I can adjust the lifters, to loud right now. Got the exhaust on now I am waiting for the break parts to come in. |

Re: Gas Tank Size
Thanks, for the info. Naw, just some metal munching rust mites were chewing on the frame. I measured the sending unit, it is 10 and half inches (10-1/2 ) from the rim to the tip of the filter.Thanks again, John
