Is it just me.. or does anyone else not know how these blazer tanks fit in?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I stand here scratching my head how these fargin straps go.. I just don't see how this thing fits on. can anyone give me some insight on how to install this tank. I just don't see how it fits underneath my '67 truck.
i even have my box off and i can't see it. where do those hooks go?

if anyone has a few photos it would be worth 2000 words.

Sure you don't wanna post this over in the truck section?

I have pics of mine in my build thread below. I just drilled new holes so I can mount mine further back. Down side to mounting it further back is that I had to notch out more of the brace for the bed. There should be stack holes for these if you don't want to drill them for the burban they might be closer to the axle. I'm going to clean up some of the holes when I go to finish the truck.

awesome filler hole location..

but how does the other side of the staps connect? I only got two hook bolts in my kit.. should I have 4? (2 for each strap)

I had to go to the hardware store and buy two bolts for the other side. It bolts flush to the frame with no gap. Also on the hook bolts put the threaded side down. With no bed it is easy to bolt with the threads up on the frame but when I put the bed on I had to flip them over.

Blazer/Jimmy tank kits only come with 2 bolts, like meeks said, hardware store

how retarded, why even call it a kit!?

why don't they just say:

Blazer tank with some parts included (requires complete assembly).

ah well, also looks like I gotta drill some more frame holes too!?
