1973-1987 Chevy C10 Truck Under Box Fuel Tank Replacement Kit - Compatible with Pickup Box & Gas Tanks | Perfect for Restoration Projects & Off-Road Upgrades

Product Description

Relocates fuel tank from driver’s side frame rail to under pickup bed. Safer fuel tank location, as stock tank is vulnerable in a T-bone style collision. TIG welded .090-inch thick aluminum construction for strength with light weight. Features industry standard five-bolt fuel level sender mounting pattern. Rear mounting configuration provides better weight balance and enhances traction. Much safer fuel storage, as fuel is no longer close to the driver’s side frame rail. Tank features AN6 pickup tube and 5/16-inch vent fitting for carbureted applications. Fits both two-wheel drive C10 and four-wheel drive K10 truck models. 20 gallon fuel capacity (factory tank is 16 or 20 gallon depending on year and bed length) Not a universal fuel tank; dimensions, and mounting flanges specific to 73-87 Fits Chevy truck frames. Make Your 1973-1987 Fits Chevy Truck Safer by Relocating the Fuel Tank By the time Fits Chevrolet’s much loved C10 pickup truck hit the 1970s and into the ’80s a lot of safety updates had been made to the third generation C10 truck. Standard disc brakes, three-point seatbelts, radial tires, and more were the norm. That said, there is always room for improvement, and one such upgrade for these square body C10s is to relocate the driver’s side frame rail mounted fuel tank. While previous generation C10s and even earlier model Fits Chevy trucks featured a fuel tank in the passenger compartment behind the bench seat, the square body’s fuel tank location could certainly be seen as an improvement. However, it has been noted over the years that it’s mid-chassis placement on the outside of the driver’s side frame rail often means the factory tank can be ruptured during a traditional “T-bone” style collision. Moving the fuel tank to under the bed of the truck and behind the rear axle provides for a safer mounting location (rear impacts are often far less severe than a T-bone collision) between the rear frame rails
