That's what I'm talking about!

Ben,
Any issues with running low on fuel? Didn't you use a blazer tank too? I know there is some concern about sloshing without baffles in your tank.
I don't plan on doing any autocross with my truck but I don't want to be worried about dry pumping around a normal road curve either. thanks

Thanks, No fuel issues with the blazer tank. I heard the pump whine at start up once, but the tank was on E and I was parked up hill.

How quickly can you fill the tank? Will the nozzle stay in there at the right angle to keep it flowing or do you have to hold it in place?

My 78 K20 required part fill speed and constant holding of the nozzle to keep it in the filler neck is why I ask.

The nozzle stays in place just fine, but I can't quite fill at full flow. I just set the nozzle on the second click and let it go.

Thanks, yes seats are still in there, haven't had time to find and install a bench.

Very nice work on the filler Ben. I will need more details about this conversion. I may just do it on my truck.
The bed looks good too.
