The gas tank you uesd on the rear of the frame is it a Blazer tank? And what mods did you have to do to it ? Thanks

Same thing. Its from a suburban. You have to take out the brace thats there. The spare tire would go up against that brace. Its the smaller one. You have to trim the cross sill on the bed so the tank will clear it. You have to extend your fuel lines and extend your wire for the gauge. You will also have to decide where and how you'd like to do the filler or gas cap. If you have a wood bed you could mount it in the floor. But some people don't like that. Theres also the side marker or tail light flip w/filler behind those. Some people get a fuel door from another vehicle and graft it into the side. I think thats what I am going to do.

I forgot you also have to drill holes in the frame for the mounting straps that hold the tank to the frame.

I got a late start today but I took the alternator off and went to exchange it. The new one will be in tomorrow. I put a bed side on to see where the tires sit. I still need to trim some on the cross sill where the tank is so it'll move forward an inch or so.

Looks great, and I really like the wheels! Also good to see Sassy out and about.

Yeah, I didn't notice it but she's peeing in that second pic. She's still moving slow but she's moving. I made her an egg this morning and she must have forgiven me for running over her. She sat on my foot like normal lol.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 
Yeah I remember one time we were in your basement and she just waltzed up in the middle of everyone and peed in the floor. I still laugh when I think about it. A little dog with a big personality.
