What brand & year of van?


1973 Dodge Shorty B-100
1995 Chevy G20 Gladiator

but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, and proclaiming

Sorry guess that would help. It is 96 Chevy short G10 with V6 L480 trans. Since going junk yard hunting for chrome bumpers and no window doors and rubber mat I would get larger tank too?

well i know my G20/G2500 long wheelbases came with 33 gallon I don't think it would be an issue on a short wheelbase. do you which size you have now?

No idea but my guess is smallest. And i guess mine would have pump in it so tank needs to come from injected 90-95?

I do not know much about shortys.The fuel pump is no big deal my 93 has it.Remember JY prob have your parts before they would stock 1970s-1980s.Based on supply and demand.Sounds like you need to find out more about your van before you go replacing parts,my suggestion would be a factory service manual ebay usually has them at a reasonable cost.The fuel straps are the real question mark about fuel tank exchanges,I believe.

I'm almost positive the 3rd gen Chevys came standard with a 22 gal tank with a 33 gal option. They both will fit in the same location although you'll need the longer straps for the 33 and you'll have to relocate the crossmember that the straps connect to a few inches forward. Nothing a 4 1/2" grinder with a cutting wheel and a welder won't fix!
You say you have a '96 G-10...I thought '96 was the year that the newer style body came out?
