What size are the trailing arm bolts? What needed for gas tank relocation - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

May be pulling my bed off today. Starting on gas tank relocation. Ima go into town and buy some bedliner to spray on my blazer tank.

1-what're all the ports on the tank for filler, ventline inlet for gas
2-is bedliner good for the tank? wipe with lauqer thiner and spray it on (rattle can).
3-Ima get some grade 8 bolts for trailing arm bushings. What size are they? I read somewhere that they're 5" 3/4" long whats the thred size? Ima also pick up new rearend gasket and figure out my gear ratio and change my oil back there. Already got paint/oven cleaner. What else for the job?

you may want to check the condition of your bolts on the trailing arms, when i had mine off the bushings were shot but the bolts were in great shape they are really heavy duty bolts. just my 2 cents. i can measure the length on mine if you need me to my bed is still off the frame?
