1963–1972 Chevy C10 Bed Fill EFI Aluminum Fuel Tank with Installed Aeromotive Stealth 340 In-Tank Pump
The Boyd Welding 63–72 C10 bed fill EFI tank, product number 14004, bolts to the bottom of the frame rails behind the rear axle on 1963–1972 Chevy C10 trucks with no modifications to the frame or bed floor. It's built from 0.125-inch 5052 aluminum with three internal baffles, including a center baffle that surrounds the pump area, AWS-certified welds, and every tank is pressure leak tested at 5–8 psi. It ships with the Boyd #41001 in-tank EFI assembly installed, complete with an Aeromotive Stealth 340 #11542 (E85-capable version) in-tank fuel pump rated at 340 LPH and a -6 ORB outlet, plus a CNC machined non-vented threaded bed fill cap and neck (#81037NV), a 3/8-inch NPT return, a 1/2-inch NPT vent, and a sending-unit flange.
Add the fill position, fuel level sensor or block-off, flush bed floor fill kit, rollover vent, and mounting kit you need when you order. The tank is backed by a 2-year limited structural warranty from the date of purchase, and the Aeromotive pump carries Aeromotive's own 1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, handled directly by Aeromotive. It ships in 1–2 weeks or less, with free shipping to the lower 48 states.

Fuel and Use
This tank is built for fuel-injection systems running gasoline or E85. The installed Aeromotive Stealth 340 #11542 is the E85-capable version of the pump. The Aeromotive Stealth 340 is not an internally regulated pump, so your system needs a fuel pressure regulator and a return line back to the tank's 3/8-inch NPT return. A fuel pressure regulator is not included with this tank and must be purchased separately from another vendor.
63–72 C10 Frame Fit
The tank is designed to mount to the bottom of the frame rails using its two side mounting tabs. Mounted that way, it fits 1963–1972 C10 trucks without cutting the frame or the bed crossmembers. It hangs approximately 7" below the frame at its deepest point near the axle and approximately 5" below the frame at the end closest to the bumper.
The standard fill neck is offset 9.75" from center toward the driver side, which places it in the center of the largest plank on a wood bed floor. A center fill position is available as an option, but a standard wood floor for these years has a metal strip at center rather than a plank, so the bed floor will need modification.
Measure your specific application before ordering. The tank body measures 26.5" L × 19" W × 10" H, tapering to 8" at the bumper end. The overall width across the mounting tabs is 32.5". The threaded fill cap and neck stand approximately 3" above the top of the tank, which is 5.78" from the top of the mounting tabs to the top of the cap. Allow for your frame, crossmembers, suspension, exhaust, and fuel and vent line routing.
Known Fitment Notes
- 1963–1966 K10 trucks, and possibly other K10 years, may require modifying or moving the rear crossmember.
- The standard bed fill neck sits just below the bed floor and does not pass through it. You'll need to install an access door in the bed floor to reach the cap, or add the flush bed floor fill option.

Tank Options
-
Fill position: Standard driver-side position, or center fill position
- Standard driver-side position: The fill neck is offset 9.75" from center toward the driver side, which places it in the center of the largest plank on a wood bed floor.
- Center fill position: The fill neck is centered on the tank. A standard wood floor for these years has a metal strip at center rather than a plank, so the bed floor will need modification.
-
Fuel level sensor: Flange only (use your own sensor), #33004 sending-unit flange block-off kit installed, 0-90 ohm sensor installed (1967–1972), or 240-33 ohm sensor installed (universal applications with aftermarket gauges only)
- Flange only: The sending-unit flange is standard on every tank. Install your own sensor, or a block-off, before using the tank.
- #33004 block-off kit installed: Seals the sending-unit flange with a gasket so the tank can be used without a sensor.
- 0-90 ohm sensor installed: The choice for 1967–1972 trucks.
- 240-33 ohm sensor installed: Offered only for universal applications with aftermarket gauges. Follow your gauge maker's instructions.
- 1963–1966 trucks: 0-30 ohm is the only sensor that works with the factory gauge. We don't currently offer it, and we recommend Classic Instruments sender #SN36.
-
Flush bed floor fill: Standard threaded cap and neck, Boyd #27042 flush mount bed floor fill kit, or a 2" hose barb only
- Standard threaded cap and neck: Our #81037NV non-vented threaded cap and neck stands approximately 3" above the top of the tank and sits just below the bed floor, so you'll need an access door in the bed floor to reach the cap.
- #27042 flush mount bed floor fill kit: The tank is built with a 2" hose barb, and the kit mounts in the bed floor and connects to the tank with the supplied rubber hose and clamp.
- 2" hose barb only: The tank is built with a 2" hose barb so you can plumb your own fill.
-
Rollover safety vent: Vent bung only, or #32001 rollover vent installed
- Vent bung only: The tank comes with a 1/2-inch NPT vent bung.
- #32001 rollover vent installed: A ball check valve that lets air in and out of the tank. In a rollover, the ball drops and blocks the vent port to stop fuel from leaking out, and a small internal float reduces fuel slosh into the vent hose.
- Either way: The vent must always be plumbed with a hose to a vapor canister or filter. Never block off a tank vent port.
-
Mounting kit: None, or Boyd #44021 63–72 universal C10 mounting kit
- None: Supply your own mounting hardware or fabricate your own mounting.
- #44021 mounting kit: Includes a machined, threaded nut plate that you tack weld or bolt to the inside lower leg of the frame, so you have threads to bolt into. The top of the tank blocks the inside of the frame when it's mounted, which makes holding a nut with a wrench difficult.

Installation Notes
The tank vent must always be plumbed with a hose to a vapor canister or filter, with or without the rollover vent. Never block off a tank vent port.
Aeromotive recommends a dedicated wiring kit with a direct power supply to get the pump's rated flow. See the pump instructions linked below.
Warning: On 1955-1987 Chevrolet C10 tanks, removing the rear crossmember for a Panhard bar suspension can crack the tank at the mounts, and that damage is not covered by our two-year limited structural warranty. If your suspension kit calls for removing it, ensure to replace it. Read the full note
Frequently Asked Questions
What fuel can I use in this tank?
Gasoline or E85. It's built for fuel-injection systems running either fuel, and the installed Aeromotive Stealth 340 #11542 is the E85-capable version of the pump.
Will it fit my truck?
It fits 1963–1972 C10 trucks without modifications when mounted to the bottom of the frame rails. 1963–1966 K10s, and possibly other K10 years, may need the rear crossmember modified or moved. Measure your application before ordering.
How far below the frame does it hang?
Approximately 7" at its deepest point near the axle, and approximately 5" closest to the bumper.
What is a -6 ORB outlet?
Our #41001 EFI assembly uses an O-ring boss outlet because of the fuel pressures involved. -6 ORB is the female equivalent of a standard -6 AN fitting, and its thread is 9/16-18. Use whichever -6 ORB fitting suits your plumbing; we recommend a low-profile swivel fitting.
Is a fuel pressure regulator included?
No. A fuel pressure regulator is not included and must be purchased separately from another vendor. The Aeromotive Stealth 340 is not internally regulated, so a regulator and a return line to the tank's 3/8-inch NPT return are required.
What pressure does the Aeromotive 340 pump run at?
The Aeromotive 340 pump has proven reliable at 58–60 psi for mid-range-horsepower LS swaps. Because the pump isn't internally regulated, you must use a pressure regulator and a return line, either with an inline regulator returning to the tank or with a regulator built into the fuel rails returning to the tank.
Can I buy the tank without the pump, or with a different pump?
We don't sell our EFI pump assembly without an Aeromotive 340 installed, and we don't offer this assembly with other pumps. For a larger pump, see our 63–72 C10 Choose Your Own Aeromotive Pump tank. You can also buy the NON EFI version and fabricate your own pump hanger to fit the provision.
If I buy the NON EFI tank, can I upgrade later?
Yes. Every 63–72 C10 tank is built with the same EFI baffling and pump provision, so you can add our in-tank pump assembly at any time, or any Aeromotive product using our adapter plate.
What's the warranty?
The tank carries a 2-year limited structural warranty from the date of purchase. The Aeromotive pump carries Aeromotive's own 1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the original date of purchase, and pump warranty claims are handled directly by Aeromotive.
How long does shipping take?
It ships in 1–2 weeks or less, and shipping is free to the lower 48 states. Express production, which ships in 2–3 business days, is available as an option.
