I was surprised to see someone else doing the Blazer tank in a S10. When I did mine 25+ years ago there wasn't much info on such a install. What made mine different is that I had to squeezed in air bags in each corner. The filler neck gave me the most grief. I notched the frame and was going to relocate the gas door behind the wheel well but ended up just making a door in the floor of the bed. Behind the tank I installed a 3" square tubing to support the tank and cut a 2" hole and installed a square tubing to make a receiver hitch. I made brackets and mounted a Brazer bumper. Using a G-body spring loaded license plate bracket I can flip my license plate open to expose the hitch. I'm following your series closely since now I'm planning a 2nd gen S10. Keep up the fabulous job!

Good job man! You looked like an old pro behind the camera. Good to see all the guys too.

Thanks buddy! I'm very far from a pro, but I'm working on it

Nice touch on the straps! A lot of people don't bother with things like that, it makes a difference.

As powerful as that even stock LS is,and as light as the rear was,you will be glad you moved the tank as far back for weight transfer. Less tire spin.

Why I even added a class 3 receiver hitch to mine and putting a full size spare tire on it. If he uses Cal Tracs, he won't have traction issues either.

Yes!!!!! Love it, you've taken all the guess work out for me, now that I know how too, l'm doing this to my s10 sweet!! Thanks great job.

Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful! That's really all I'm going for with this channel. Thank you for your support!

Nice video bro. I have the same tank in my 91 s10. I'm have a hard time finding a fuel pump that fits. Any suggestions?

Hi, 10 months later have you noticed any issues with the rear frame after having removed the crossmember between the rear shackles?

Im doing the same setup do you have a video of how you installed you filler neck?

What year blazer xtreme did u buy the gas tank and which fuel pump year and all did you use?

Did you use a 1st gen blazer tank and is a two door or four door tank?

Are all 4 straps the same? Or are there upper and lower differences

How many gallons are those tanks ??

May be i missed it how many gallons please

Does the stock fuel pump sending unit clear the bed ribs after you set the bed back on

The pump clears the bed floor. I have to notch/channel one structural rib since I left the lines running diagonally. I didn't feel comfortable bending the hard lines off the sender that much
