Thanks! It is a piece of an early S-10. I cut out the pocket in the side panel then notched it to match the ribs in the bedfloor. I cut the "skin" off of the lid so the inside of the lid has the ribs also. Lorne

Sure, I like to go a hour or Two away to a cruise now & then in hopes to see some different vehicles. I've gone to that camp ground (Running Bear, or something) a few times, isn't that in Slippery Rock or Prospect? Talk to you later, Lorne

Digging this one up...

On the Blazer tank install, can you still bolt up the rear bumper with the crossmember moved that far back?  Looks like that might be an issue with that setup.

How are you going to run your filler neck?  Out the side of the truck or cut and weld in a filler that goes up and through the bed?  I didn't come across any complete/assembled pics of that setup.

Assembled of my setup on captkaoscustoms.com?  Currently that truck is playing mockup for my 6.0L conversion.  I am going to route it differently that described, but I was going to route it that way.

I've got your How-To page saved as a favorite.  I just didn't see any mention of how you were going to route the filler.  Out the side of the bed or up through the bed floor?

I didn't list it so it would be original.
The original concept was to route it outside the bed to a reloacted filler (OJOE did this on his Crew Cab setup)
