got the gas tank mounted up today.
I used the one out of the 85 blazer- the tank in the blazer was about 10 inches shorter than the 2 suburban tanks I had to choose from. I think I could have been able to get them to fit, but the filler ended up in a bad spot (interfered with the body support)

I moved the rear frame brace toward the bumper about a foot, and then turned the blazer tank around 180 so that the filler is now on the left. You can see the scored line on the frame where the stock 64 filler came across the frame, so there shouldn't be too much work to connect to the stock filler tube.

I fabbed up a support with some angle iron and used that across the top to trap the tank in the frame- the 85 uses the cross braces.

also mounted the rear brake bracket in the best spot I could find.

in the last shot you can see the profile of the tank, the spring kind of covers up where the tank tapers up a little towards the front (which used to be the rear of the tank.)
