First I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. My Father in law gave my son his 1965 Chevy Truck. It is a C-10 short bed with a 250 six three speed with about 80,000 miles and no rust. Good paint and interior. My Son loves it and now he wants to start the rebuild. His biggest concern is the gas tank behind the front seat. Do any of you know of a gas tank that will fit this truck. I guess under the bed or any where out of the cab. He has big plans 350 EFI, 700r , A/C .
Thanks, Rick Harris.
As far as safety goes, the seat tank isn't really a problem, it's probably the safest place to put it. But the gas smell, and the room it takes up can be a problem.
A couple options on the tank, You can use a later blazer or Burb tank on the rear of the frame, fairly easy to do. If you can't find one, Boat US has some rectangular aluminum tanks that you can adapt, but you have to change the sending unit to one that is GM compatible.
A stockcar/racecar fuel cell always looks cool in the box!
