Re: Over 25 Years Later, Finally My 71 C-10 Truck Build
What I did on my tank install was set a couple levels across the frame rails right where the bed cross sills would set. The top of the blazer tank has a bulge in it that sets up a bit. The filler and vent lines are right between the sills and the filler will go just above the frame rail. If I were to notch the bed cross sills, I could pull the tank up another 3/4" maybe so the tank itself would rest against the cross sills. I still might do this. I don't really like how the tank moves right now and my straps are not adjustable.
I will probably order new straps (they are about $30), notch the sills, and then pull the tank up tight to the bed sills. It won't look hardly any different than it is now, but should be more stable.
Not much progress to report today. I got the engine pulleys sand blasted and repainted. I got my cab mount bushings almost ready to install (I'm missing a couple nuts and washers) and might get the cab on today or monday (taking a vacation day).
My headers should arrive tuesday.
