sidemarker filler with blazer tank?

has anyone done a sidemarker fuller with a blazer tank and how do you go about it and what parts do you need? i have seen a write up for it on a step side but havent found one for a fleetside. i have a long bed fleetside and was wondering if i should go about it in this direction or try to do something else. any input would be helpful

Thanks a lot
Rat

71rat,

I just finished doing this to my 68 fleetside long bed. It wasnt too bad. I used the same instructions that OhioDan recommended. The biggest challange was modifying the s-10 filler tube. Which included reducing it from 2" to 1 1/4" in dia. and routing the filler hose. It took me several cuts and welds to get it right. I used various exhaust reducers that I found at a local swap meet to make it work. It is very slow to fill because of the reduction and the filler hose is nearly flat(no fall to the tank because of the narrow space between the bed and frame). If you can afford it I would go with a aluminum or stainless tank vs. a poly tank. I believe you will get a better fit and the filler tube will work better.
