I am new to the site and have been looking at many posts.


I am working on a 1952 3100 and want to get rid the behind seat fuel tank. I have installed a 76 firebird front clip and Chevy 350 motor in the truck. Also switched out the rear springs with springs from a ford explorer. Would like a tank that fits where the spare tire holder currently resides and also would work with a side filler cap. Anyone got a good solution?

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like an interesting project, we would love to see some pictures.

I don't know about underbed tanks for the AD truck specifically, but Classic Industries sells a rear mount tank for the TF trucks that fits above/behind the axle and can be used with a side filler. Maybe check there?

Someone else with more AD experience might be along as well.

Again, welcome to the community.

I believe in the 3100 a number of people have used a Blazer fuel tank.

I was not able to pursue that option on 3600 because the frame spacing is much narrower but if you search for my thread on under bed fuel tank options I believe you will find several suggestions that should work for your 3100.

What year of Blazer tank? Any pointers to links on the site describing the process?

There is some good discussion of a few options there.
