I used a 64 Mustang tank. I had to make a mounting bracket because it is narrower than the frame rails but it tucks up nice. The kits that I looked at hung below the bumper and I didn't like that look.

I did a 90's S10 Blazer tank, but the bed floor is also raised 4"

I got one from Boyd’s and it’s awesome. I ran a plastic fuel cell for years and it was horrible.

I did the '94 S10 Blazer tank also. It fit between the frame rails, it's 20 gallons and didn't hang as low as some of the others like the standard issue K5 Blazer tanks. It's also FI ready if you choose to go that route...

does it mount on the top flange of the tank all the way around?

I did a newer suburban 25 gal. in my 62 Suburban. Changed the spout for the side fill and made a cross suport to hold the "straps" other than that fit great.

More than anything else, I didn't want my rear tank to be hanging below the bumper. I asked this site for help, and the members came through. Here's the thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=621177

The tank hanging low was the reason I went the direction I took. I did not want to see the tank from the rear of the truck.
