Fuel tank swap
« 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?

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:
