F body fuel tank

[Crusty69]

I've seen people install the 69 Camaro tanks and that looks pretty easy. I have access to a 2nd gen f body tank and wondered if anybody had tried one of these. Might or might not be worth the trouble. I don't know if the sending unit is compatible or anything.

I did the 69 Camaro Tank's Inc EFI tank on my 68 C10. Worked well. Hangs down a bit. Fill thru the license plate. Kind of akward to fill but again OK.
The reason I did the Camaro tank was I really didn't want to cut a hole in the bed floor.
Sender was the typical 90 ohm sender.

I had wondered how awkward it would be to fill. Especially on a lowered truck. I just didn't like the idea of a hole in the bed floor and I don't have the fab skills to do a custom filler.

If the 2nd gen tank will fit between the frame rails, it should work. The fill neck is in the same location as the '69. Those fillers are common on the Chevelle lineup and, yes, they are a pain in the butt to fill. Today's pumps fill much faster and I have to hold the lever, rather than set it on the first step. They like to splash out when getting full too. I have a '66.

My truck had a 4-6 drop. No real spit back. The Tanks Inc tank is baffled if you are running EFI.
I think I bought a 87? Monte Carlo fold down license plate bracket.

Did you buy the Notched tank or the Stock tank?

Thanks, Woody

Mine was a stock 69 Camaro setup for EFI.

That looks great. I have a few questions...

1) what did you do for Straps? Buy the ones Takes inc had?

2) What did you do for fuel lines?

3) Where do the Exhaust Pipes run?


Thanks, Woody

Here's the best pic I have.
Fuel lines ran up the left frame rail. -6 SS line. C5 FFR.
I think I used the stock straps.
