You are a fabricating machine!

Would a 73-87 blazer tank have fit your needs better?
Just wondering.

thanks..... if i didnt have my panhard bar attached to the frame behing the notch i would have fit.... im changing too many things already so i didnt want to go the route of relocating the panhard bar or getting rid of it..... i did this on 77 and it worked pretty good for me..... because the size of my air tank it does not fit under the cab like the slim one do im gonna put it between my gas tank and the notch....
