Is this a factory or aftermarket gas tank skid plate?
I don't know much about the 67-72 trucks and Blazers as I spend most of my time in the 73-87 section. I found this Blazer with the gas tank skid plate and was wondering if it is factory or an aftermarket piece. I would appreciate any input.

From that one pic, it looks to be an original Blazer or Suburban skid plate.

The angled corners were what was throwing me. I will see if I have another picture

Factory I am pretty sure. I've been looking for one of those for quite a while.

Factory skid plate - a quick search should turn up pics of other examples. Good find.

Looks like the one that was on my K5 when I bought it. Pretty sure mine was factory installed.

Re: Is this a factory or aftermarket gas tank skid plate?
Thanks for all of the input! We will go with factory. I am used to the 73 and newer style which doesn't have sides and that is what was throwing me.
