yes.. it will fit in the frame rails.. you might have to cut the floor out and have it flush with the bed floor for clearance issues.. or get a chevy blazer gas tank.. it will fit in there for sure.

if you do that you need to put it half in half out (the mounting holes on the sides of the tank bolted to the bedfloor) because behind the wheels you have to worry about dragging there too when you lift the front dump the back for dragging and whatnot. Honestly the best bet is a fuel cell up against the cab at the front of the bed.

yea, i cut mine out because it would have been too low to make it flush with the bed and just have the neck sti ck out



not the best pic, but you get the idea

and it has to be a standardcab gas tank, the xcab tanks are too long

Yeah.. they are a few inches wider and a not as deep.. so they fit under there. Also.. i hear most boat fuel cells will fit too.

fuel injected motors have it in the gas tank.
