    Did you ever relocate your tank? I have a 67 C10 (I know, different truck entirely, but maybe not so much because mine is a stepside), and am faced with the same challenge.

    [updated:LAST EDITED ON Nov-06-02 AT 07:25 PM (CST)]There is a lengthy discussion regarding gas tank relocation in the 1960-66 section - look at the heading entitled Gas tank relocation - good information about the process. I found that the 70's pu frames are wider than my 66, so you might have the same problem with the 67 - I don't have the spec's on them. someone has suggested late model S10 blazer tank. They sit at the back behind the rear end and have side fill. I have had a look at a few tanks but haven't pulled one under my truck yet ... I will post more when I do. Hope the redirection helps some:)

    Follow some of those links in those posts too. There is a link to putting in a Jeep CJ gas tank, that fits perfect as well.
