without to much trouble

Hey Bob,

I'm thinking it's a pretty straight forward swap, there are some members here that know more about this than I do - and a lot of guys are putting a Blazer tank in between the rear frame rails. Hope this helps.

One thing to look at, is the wheel well openings. Once you notice them, it'll start to bug you. IMO once the wheel well openings match, it's not a bad looking swap.
Looks tons better thant the '67 GMC I saw last night with the '87(ish) longh fleet on it. NOTHING lined up on that POS.
