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.
