BROTHERS has created an easy under bed gas tank conversion for your 1963-72 Chevrolet or GMC trucks. We use a modified version of our popular Blazer/Suburban gas tank to simplify the process as TV host Dave Welch will show you in this complete installation video. This tank is specifically for use with a Top Fill or "Through The Bed" system, Side Fill type tank conversions are also available at www.brotherstrucks.com/

that was really helpful, installing a rear tank on my '70 C10, thanks!

@Roadglide911 3 года назад

Although I didn’t install using the straps it gave me a few ideas I hadn’t considered. The back yard mechanic came out in me I guess. My frame had holes already in it that lined up with the holes in the tank from the factory. I bolted tank in using those holes and the welded the nuts in place in case I ever have to remove the tank. I used half inch grade 8 bolts and torqued them to 85 ft lbs.

Good video. Now when I LS swap my truck what do i do to get pressure up to snuff with that required of an LS without changing the tank?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 4 года назад

You just need to add an in-tank FI pump. We sell one, and we've used it on a couple projects around here, it works well! Here's a link: www.brotherstrucks.com/1947-87-CHEVY_GMC-TRUCK-IN-TANK-FUEL-PUMP-RETRO-FIT/productinfo/FIPK372/

How you decide where board will fit with other boards and on top on tank no strap or rubber insulating from metal to metal ?

@mcinkyt 5 лет назад

Why can't you adapt that to fill via a flip down license plate and leave the bed clean?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 5 лет назад

Flip down license plate fill would be BELOW the top of the tank, making it virtually impossible to get the gas to run uphill into the fill pipe.

@Hiddenrivermusic 4 года назад

I'm installing this tank in my 66 chev and looks like the front driver side corner of the tank is interfering with the upper tracking arm bracket. Is it feasible to trim the corner of the tank or do I need to replace my original tracking bar bracket? Thanks and great video!

It’s great - if you have. Wood Bed . 🤔 Great Video Though 👍🏻 Thank You .

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 2 года назад

This tank also works with a steel bed floor. You'll need to drill a hole for the filler just like with a wood floor.

@0427zach 4 года назад

Is the fuel sending unit specific to the rear mount tank? My original one doesn't seem to be right

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 4 года назад

Yes, the sending unit is specific to the tank. The original unit from the tank in the cab will not work.

@oldblueshhrchannel1847 3 года назад

An easy way to get that fuel tank back there where it belongs!

@justtraining4702 3 года назад

What about a steel bed? What's the recommended process to measure for the filler hole location?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад

With the steel bed, we've done a layer of tape on the underside, then lifted the tank into position so the filler makes contact with the tape and leaves a mark. Then you can remove the tank and create the hole from the underside of the bed. It's not as convenient as wood, but it works!

@paullaude110 4 года назад

I have the boat style gas cap, after cutting the rubber hose to the correct length the gas cap tube is too long. Do I cut the tube down on the tank or do I have the wrong cap setup? The one in the video appears shorter.

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 4 года назад

We've had situations where the tube on the tank was too tall for one reason or another and we had to shorten it. Just make sure when you shorten it that no shavings get in the tank, and that you don't make it so short that you can't get a clamp on to seal it.

@paullaude110 4 года назад

BROTHERS Truck Parts I shortened the neck on the tank and still the boat style filler is too long. Guess I’m going to cut that down too. I bought all this stuff 4 years ago. Just getting around to the install. The pop up filler looks much shorter. If I could free shipping I’d order one. But $25 shipping is too much.

@VeghTheHun 5 лет назад

Why are the 2 mounting holes on each side of the tank not utilized? Why put the straps on the outaide of those mounting holes?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 5 лет назад

On some trucks the frame is too wide to use the mounting holes. We also find that when using the holes it makes it VERY difficult to get nuts onto the bolts because the tank is in the way once you lift it into place. If you wanted to weld a fixed nut in place on top of the frame, you could easily use those holes. When all options are weighed, the straps are just easier.

@caseyjp23 5 лет назад

would it be okay to run a rubber fuel hose from the tank to the mechanical fuel pump if you don't want to deal with bending metal fuel lines?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 5 лет назад

Absolutely!

@jamesruben67 4 года назад

Although, LMC Truck sells some aluminum fuel line that bends very easy by hand and looks great.

@jasonborne1819 3 года назад

Can someone help? I have and LT1 engine. Do I use a mechanical fuel pump or will I need an electric due to the distance from the new tank location?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад

It depends... distance isn't a problem, it's more about how the engine gets it's fuel. Carburetor = Mechanical Pump, Fuel Injection = Electric Pump.

Any way you can make a video for the guys who don't have wood on the back of their truck.

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 5 лет назад

We'll look into making a video that accompanies this for steel beds. Thanks for the suggestion! FWIW, most of our guys who make a rear tank conversion with a steel bed use the side fill tank instead of the top fill.

@isaaccarranza1039 5 лет назад

Hey david im planning to do that on my 72 but i was wondering if im gonna need an electric fuel pump??

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 5 лет назад

You can use the stock fuel pump unless you plan to convert to Fuel Injection.

@isaaccarranza1039 5 лет назад

Because the truck i have on the picture i had a 1998 grand charokee gas tank installed n the mechanical pump bearly sucked fuel then had to buy an Edelbrock electric pump

@Dayvviduno 5 лет назад

question... i did something similiar to this and my gas tank is sucking within.. i did not add a breather.. i didnt see a breather on the fuel neck, is there somewhere else i can add it?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 5 лет назад

Without knowing what tank you used it's tough to say what your options are. We would suggest you start by seeing if you can add a breather to the top of the fuel sending unit. Otherwise, check the tank for any potential vented ports that are plugged off, most tanks have a vent on them somewhere.

@Dayvviduno 5 лет назад

@MrCade-pb3ky 5 лет назад

If I was looking at this conversion which pre-bent fuel lines would I want to go to the stock fuel pump for a 67?

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 5 лет назад

There are no specific pre-bent lines for this conversion. For simplicity, we typically use the stock hard line that terminates under the cab, then we connect it to the new tank using rubber fuel line. Obviously, you could bend your own hard line to connect the factory front line and run it back to the tank, or even bend a completely new line to go from the pump back to the tank.

@edwardburrese6471 5 лет назад

I have a 62 suburban/delivery van that needs a new tank. This is great but how about a tank filler that doesn’t require you cutting a hole in the original wood floors... someone please help!!

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 3 года назад

There's lots of custom options possible if you use one of our side fill tanks instead of a top fill style like this one. No need to cut the floor, just route the filler to another spot. We've seen tail light fillers, gas doors set in the side of the body and more. You just have to get creative.

@robertemmons2260 4 года назад

I did not see any rubber tank strap liners. Are they not used? I love this fuel tank conversion. Unfortunately some of us live in the snow belt, plus I like to haul stuff in the bed of the truck, which I'd why I bought my truck in the first place, so this fuel filler location will not be feasible for me. The side fill option is the way that I'll go. Still enjoyed the video though.

@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV 4 года назад

We actually sell quite a few more side fill tanks than top fill, probably for similar reasons to what you mentioned. This is the say way, but not the most practical for most people that still use their truck as a truck.
