yes they should swap right out are they the same size? also the sending unit are interchangeable if you need 3 but the burb has 4 outlets they will swap right out. also try to make sure they are about the same year and both use the same fuel

There are 3 tanks availible for the Burbs, 28, 31 and 40.
The 40 gallon version WILL NOT fit a K5.

I would say you have a rare one, and depending on its condition, it would be more valuable than a comparable Blazer assuming it has all the parts.

I think I misread your original post while reading another one.

Is your a Casa Grande with a built in camper, or is yours just a Blazer that lists Sequoia special on the glove box.

I am saying the 76-77 Casa Grande/Chalet is rare.  A truck with a Sequoia package on it is not special.

See this post on what a sequoia is:

I was just searching Sequoia special and found out that my 84 blazer is a Sequoia special. Doesnt look special to me, and the glove box tag shows the LYH4 Sequoia special option code, but it came with 3.08 gears??? Still would like to see pics of yours.
