The square recessed head on the long thru tank mounting bolts is a giveaway. I have one of these on my 71 3/4 ton K20 Suburban and it is original according to first owner...part of a super tow package...I almost always see these in conjunction with a drawtite hitch thats fits nicely.
Are you talking about this style 45 gallon tank? The original owner told me that it was dealer installed (and he was the Service Manager for a GMC/Chevrolet dealership for close to 45 years). I had it out being pressure/smoke tested while I replaced the rear sets of body mounts...and this thing is close to 400 lbs full! Maybe this is your 6th sighting?
