If a donor tank is out of the question how about new?

But another tank that might work pretty slick is one for a 1969 Firebird/Camaro. It's not a real deep tank, but holds 16 or so gallons, and has an extended fuel neck out to the rear that could be positioned so that it's under the tailgate. That's what I'm going to try to use.

The 80s blazer is used by a lot of AD owners. I had a custom aluminum 20 gal. built. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2540282850099708909YZvPCm
