The '60-'62 frame is wider than the '65. I used a 22 gallon '78 chevy van tank, straps and sending unit because it doesn't hang as low as the blazer tank and fit's pretty well. I'm planning on swapping in 5.3 L33 in the near future and will use the same tank with an OEM in tank fuel pump. There's probably a couple of threads that would be helpful as well..

LMC top fill tank on my 66 stepside

[Chevystep]

Really? No 1969 Camaro tanks with a license plate filler? Still contemplating doing this with my 66 for the reason that it's a stepside and I don't want fender or bed filler cap. Tucking it up as tight as I can seems doable without a bunch hanging down, love the license plate filler if it can be done, but wonder if "fuel slosh" toward the filler cap is a problem...I guess I could add a baffle to a new tank...

How did the LMC tank fit? i heard you have to do some adjusting and all. But that might have been for the side fill. Thinking about getting the LMC Top fill myself and was curious.

Is it possible to use the mustang tank and fill from tailight?
I want to incorporate the tail light for fill area.

Im using a Boyd welding tank in my 65 with my LS2. Quality and fitment is top notch! Not cheap but excellent tank. Im very pleased with it. Its a top/bed fill.

This is the direction I wanted to go with my step side, a few have done it, but I caved and got the top fill tank from LMC. I like the hidden fuel filler as I have yet to see a filler setup that I like on a step side. The fuel sloshing back was a concern for me, the cars do it all the time and that's not what I wanted so that's mainly why I went top fill.

That sounds interesting...will check that out

[animals speed shop]

Boyd tanks look great and I bet they work great .....A little steep for some of my customers who want to do a budget build . I was just looking at a 85 blazer tank that i was thinking of building a neck to make it a top fill. Anyone try that before ?

(Can anyone tell me what type of tank are people using for the tail light fill?)

Think I spent 50$ used, clean with the filler neck, locking cap, straps and skid plate. I think it is the bigger of the Blazer tanks - 33-35 gal. I think there may have been a smaller one around 25 - 27 gal. that doesn't hang as low. I actually bought a sending unit that I had to return because it was 4" too short and wouldn't touch the bottom.

Will the 87-91 sending unit work with the factory fuel gauge?

[cp_66_c20]

I have autometer gauges. what I did was drill out the rivits to the sending unit and attach a sending unit with the correct ohms to my gauge an wire it in where the old one was. I also instslled a walbro 255 and wired it in to the existing harness. You can do the same and it will work. It may be off a little but nothing is perfectly accurate. I will try to upload pics later tonight to give you an idea of what I did.

Thank you Cp_66_c20. What is a walbro 255?

speaking of 66 mustang tanks, anyone think this is a good pairing with a 5.3l LS engine? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/a.../model/mustang
