    Hello everyone
    I am new to the forum but I just acquired a 1995 extended cab 4x4 with the 3.4l and it is a awesome little truck. I got it for next to nothing since it needs a gas tank but It seems I cant find one any where for it
    If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it
    thanks seth

    Are you looking to find a used one or new ?

    I just replaced mine and you will find the entire job much easier if you remove the bed. It can be done from underneath but you'll have a much easier time from above and you can easily disconnect and reconnect all the lines (after taking a picture) from above. I can't really imagine how you would manage it from below.

    Depending where you live, (rust vs not) you may need to get a fair number of accessory pieces as well.

    There are several suppliers of these gas tanks. Check with your local parts stores. Sometimes they can get aftermarket parts like this. Also check Ebay. You may be able to find a tank there.

    Go on car-part.com and find a used one in good shape. There are a bunch for 95's when I did a quick search

    or if you don't care to remount the tank you can go with a fuel cell in the bed.

    but the downside is fairly obvious.
