Blazer Tank question
Ok so a 67-72 blazer tank will work but what about a 73-91 blazer tank? Would that be difficult to put in my longbed 70?

I used an 86 Blazer, took frame xmembers and all modified the xmembers to fit my frame (67-72 same) it looks stock and a branew tank is I think $106 from autozone or someplace like that I have it in files somewhere two different fuel capacities or options also 25 gal and 31 or so. I can email pics if ya want.

Ya please send them. What does it take to get the tank and cross members out? I saw a few blazers at a junyard by my house and I want to go grab one.

The cross member will be the hardest. They are riveted on so a grinder would work best. Using a grinder in a junk yard may present a problem or 2 with the lack of electric. A torch maybe????? The rest you should be able to get with regular hand tools.
I go back and read this stuff I do when I get home and sometimes it doesn't even make sense. I get home at 4am...  My typing is terrible....

How about some nice photos as you do yours ???
Sounds like this might make a good posting for a FAQ. Tank move from the cab is on my "someday list," too. |

 Had to weld in the filler neck and sending unit flange from the truck tank. Then I was able to bend the truck sending unit to work in the blazer tank. Talk about a budget job... Works perfectly. Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 10-07-2005 at 05:09 PM. |
