    Does the '87 C10 gas tank not have baffles? I was under the impression it's baffled.

    Hey Jon, I know a guy that can make a fuel cell for your truck.

    I don't have one laying around right now but I'm pretty sure they don't.

    Okay, I don't know either. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to use.

    Yes they do. 87 was the first year for the TBI, and the last year of the square body regular cab truck. There are not actually "baffles", but more like a bowl around the pump.

    Does you engine have a returnless system on it? If not, pick up 04 or newer fuel rails, then you can run a ~99 Vette filter/regulator back by the tank and only have to run one line up to the engine.

    I have no idea if it has a returnless system on it or not.

    Look on the left side of the intake, if there are two fuel lines pointing to the rear, it is not a returnless system. The returnless will have only one line.
