I know devious makes a different tank that sucks up, but thats for s10's. I drug though the plastic, then i bodydroped it, so you can make anything work but for the time and fab wise, put the tank in the bed, then down the road get a fuel cell, but remember you gotta get a aux fuel pump when you get a fuel cell, I run a holly blue, cause it has the right GPM you need for the TBI.

raise it by the bolts on the front of the tank that mount to the frame. raise those a inch or so. the rear bracket you can notch the crossmember so it will fit snug to the tank.(be sure to smooth out those ruff edges). jack up the tank and shorten the strap to lenght and re-drill the hole out again. this should raise entire tank and have plastic cover just below frame

Just put it in the bed...It worked for me

I run the Holley Blue Pump like Dave said above.



Then I made it all pretty.

thats we he did to his and thats we did to mine , at first just notching the rear crosmember and shorting the strap was enough but then i drug enough to need the front raised as well , all to gether my tank is raised about 2 - 2 1/2 inches( if i drag to my tank agin ill be layin body without a body drop ) , if you do raise it and if you raise to the point where you have to notch the the pinch weld on your cab your gonna need to notch the lil crosmember on your bed floor for the fuel lines
