i'm pretty sure summit sells a pickup, but you might end up having to change or modify the fuel lines

you dont really need a tank, you just need a fuel pressure regulator on the pressured fuel line and run that at like 3 or 5 lbs right to your carb. Then,
plug the return line and your good

These pumps are made to be run with a return so they don't get hot and go bad. I would rather do it the right way the first time, but thanks

I was actuallyplanning onputting in a fuel cell down the road, just depends on the money when i start to build it. If it is going to cost me $100 for a pickup, I might just do it now to not waste money The car is going up on a rotisserie to get all the frame work, then will be caged...I have plans for this one.
