Vacuum Tank Substitute

[V]

Lately, I've been working on a 2nd gen. Not sure if this has been posted before, but these trucks have a possible substitute for our cumbersome and awkward vacuum ball.
Sure, some people just eliminate the ball, but I like my truck to work right. The application is '98+, the part number is 15720833 and the cost is about $20.

Stock location is the driver's fender...cleanly tucked out of the way.

Removed from the fender.

The tank doesn't fit our fender perfectly, but I'm installing it on a sheet of aluminum fitted for our fender openings.
I'm not finished with the installation, but I hope to test the tank over the next few weeks.

Any thoughts or firsthand experience?

On a stock truck, would it be sitting where the ABS module is? Having a hard time telling by that picture?

Yes, next to the ABS.

I'm installing it in the passenger fender, near the stock SyTY location.

Yeah, I like it too.... Gonna keep an eye out at the local 'yards, see if I can find one there. Thanks for sharing!
