Fuel Cell Install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here are a couple pics of my new fuel tank I put in last weekend. It came from POL along with the sending unit. It looks to be a quality piece. There was a question awhile back about whether or not the curved panhard bar would clear a rear mounted fuel tank. The overhead shot clearly shows that there is plenty of room.

Does that drop in from the top?

If not could the entire install be done with the bed still attached to the frame?

The curved panhard came from CPP. It's designed to clear the larger aluminum diff covers. That's next on the list of stuff to buy

Unfortunately I think you have to pull the bed. There are bolts that go in from the bottom and a strip of steel with nuts welded to it that go in the frame rail channel. You can see the nuts in the third pic. I don' t think you will be able to get to that with the bed still on. The instructions that came with the tank specified to remove the bed.

Looks awesome. Guess I know where I will order mine from. If you dont mind me asking, how is the pricing and what is the specific part number.

Here is a link to the one I bought. The sending unit is extra but they sell it too.
