Need help with my excab swap! I'm trying to put the fuel tank in the stock location, but the filler neck is giving me a hard time... Probably because the fill hole on the side of the tank is pretty obstructed by the cab itself..

So I'm trying to figure out the most efficient, cheap, not too complicated fuel tank swap that will fit between my frame rails behind the rear axle.  I've seen some people use a ford f150 gas tank, but what I'm needing is someone with experience doing multiple different tank swaps so that they can tell me which swap was easiest, and cheapest etc...

I know of other swaps already. I've done my HW to figure out what options I have... Just need to find someone that's done a few before.

Thanks

What year range? all? What about wiring? Will everything work i.e. fuel gauge, pump etc...

All s10 blazers run the same tank from my experience. They run 55-65 psi fuel pressure. Idk on the gauge, I'd imagine that an ohm meter could answer that question

If I have to transfer the gauge over, I picked this up..
