1985 Flareside FS w/Rear Tank - @FuzzFace2

This truck showed up in my FB news feed and caught my eye because of the rear tank:

Quite unique...but Dave knows all about them;).

That really IS unique!  Maybe there are two of them in existence?

Thanks guys for pointing this out to me.

To tell the truth I got it from someone else that did it long before I did it.
That person did not post a lot on how he went about it but it was enough to light the flame under me to make my rear dual tank happen.

Wonder how he switches between the 2 tanks?
I used all the parts and wiring from my dual tank parts truck so it looks all factory.

I looked at the pictures of the truck and for 9k and the work it needs I think is a lot.
Then again I am cheap but the rust I am seeing the cab needs work.
We also dont know what the bed floor looks like?

I would like to know where he got that rear step bumper?
My brother told me the truck he got my tail gate and the fuel tank door I used for the rear tank said the truck also had a step bumper that did not hang over the ends.
He thought it might of been off an Chevy S10? Dont know what brackets it would have used?

Dave,

I think you're right, that $9k is a bit pricey for this truck.

That rear bumper appears to be from a 1992-1996 Flareside. The top plastic cover is missing, and so is the step (it's a separate piece that bolts to the bottom of the bumper).

Cory now that you say that of the rear bumper and I went back to look I think you are right.
So are the rear steps removable on the later flare sides as I cant see how that step would blend in to them like yours dose?

Ya, it looks like mine, but without the top plastic cover (it just snaps in place through square holes). The step/tow bar bolts to the bottom and is a separate piece. Looks like this guy left it off to clear the receiver hitch I guess?
