Guys,
Does the Sierra utility (1986) use a different fuel tank to the Sierra SWB?
Getting conflicting view points from various wreckers.
Utilities tank is rusted out and I need a replacement.
Anything aftermarket that's reasonably priced and a straight bolt in?
Cheers...

The swb tank physically bolts in to a trayback but the filler is in the wrong spot. My old trayback had a modified swb tank in it.
However, traybacks have the tank in front of the rear axle. A utility (which normally implies a styleside) has exactly the same tank as a swb.

Steve,
Many thanks ... sounds like I have a 'styleside'. The tank is mounted central between the chassis rails and behind the rear axle.
Sounds like the SWB tank will fit ... now ... how to protect it from taking more hits!
