I thought my sweat equity might help some other bolters out there. I am nearly finished installing a 49-52 Chevrolet passenger car fuel tank in the rear frame of my 65 C10 Shortbed.

I bought the new steel tank from Tanks, Inc. (FYI: Bob Drake is also selling these tanks now too, and for a few bucks less than Tanks, Inc.) The reason I used this tank is it does not stick down to low like a lot of these rear mount tanks do and the fuel filler neck comes out of the corner instead of the top.

Check out the photo at my Webshots Link. I also have included some CAD drawings I made for this configuration and for one that mounts flush with the top of the frame rails. If you need additional photos or information let me know.

Inspired to be different. Different in a way of my own, not in a way that others strive.
