gas tank options

hi everyone i had a quick question

i know there are many companys making under bed gas tanks for my 70 gmc but i am not really happy with the fuel capacity (18-19 gallons) if possible i would like somthing bigger.

i wanted to know if a suburban 67-72 gas tank would fit? (stock or aftermarket) i dont know how much a sub gas tank can hold but i believe thay are bigger right?? i would be happy with 22-25 gal

regardless if it would fit could i use a stock sub gas tank (filler hoses) for a side fill on my truck??

thanks

Re: gas tank options

i'm pretty sure my burb only holds 20 gallons, and the tank hangs pretty low and ugly.

Re: gas tank options

Re: gas tank options

Try www.earlyclassic.com they advertise a 23 gallon tank as well as one called copperhead that is 19 gallons that allows for the exhaust to be run near it for a cleaner look.
