BRAND NEW SOUTHWEST SPEED FABRICATED 18 GALLON ALUMINUM TOP FILL RELOCATION FUEL TANK THAT MOUNTS BEHIND THE REAR AXLE ON 1963-1972 CHEVY & GMC TRUCKS. (SWS PART #890-1016).
THIS SOUTHWEST SPEED 18 GALLON TOP FILL RELOCATION ALUMINUM FUEL TANK IS DESIGNED TO FIT BETWEEN THE FRAME RAIL AND REARWARD OF THE AXLE ON 1963-72 CHEVY & GMC TRUCKS. BY MOVING THE TANK OUT OF THE CAB, YOU GAIN MUCH NEEDED ROOM TO ALLOW FOR FURTHER CUSTOMIZATION, WHICH ALSO INCREASES FUEL CAPACITY AND SAFETY! THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING A TOP FILL TANK IS THAT YOU CAN FILL THE 18 GALLON TANK EASILY ON THE BED FLOOR. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED, THE FILLER NECK IS LOCATED 3" FROM THE LEFT OF THE BED CENTERLINE. THIS WORKS GREAT ON WOOD BED TRUCKS, BECAUSE IT PLACES THE FILLER NECK IN THE CENTER OF THE WOOD PLANK, SO NO BED STRIP MODIFICATIONS WILL BE NEEDED. ADDITIONAL PARTS WILL BE NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION. YOU WILL NEED TO ADD A GAS TANK FILLER HOSE AND GAS CAP. THE FUEL FEED LINE WILL NEED TO BE EXTENDED, ALONG WITH THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT WIRES. THE 1 1/2" FILLER NECK WILL REQUIRE A REMOTE FILLER NECK OR FUEL FILLER DOOR IN THE BOX FLOOR. THE FRAME-MOUNTED SPARE TIRE WILL NEED TO BE RELOCATED. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, INSTRUCTIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE LINK BELOW.
NOTE: FITS 4X2 MODELS ONLY! MODIFICATION WILL BE REQUIRED TO FIT IN 4X4 APPLICATIONS.
