Title: Fuel tank swap
Post by: chiefmiller84 on May 29, 2017, 04:19:36 pm

I did a search on here and couldn't come up with anything. Has anyone swapped out their dual tanks and put a tank in between the rear frame rails where the spare tire used to sit, like on the suburbans and blazers?

I did on my build I used the suburban mounts that go front to back across frame.

So you didn't have to do all the things cptkaos did in his build above?

Wow, that's a lot more involved than I thought. Still doable though. This is an awesome build!

not really that involved, just moving braces around and getting an angle bracket.
Here is the same process on my R10 Driver with an LS swap:
