I am going with a generic tank from RCI. My bed will be raised, so I have some room to play with.

top fuel,that is a nice tank.i have been checking these out on ece's web site.do you have any pics to give me an idea of how low it hangs?thanx

I have a aluminum tank from Performance online (I'm pretty positive that POL, ECE, and CPP all sell the exact same tank made by the same company) and I am very pleased with it. It doesn't hang down bad at all, even for a c-notched and bagged truck. If you can catch one on eBay from POL I believe that they are still $499 with the sending unit and everything else you need to install. Good deal for the $$ and they look awesome!

I had a metal shop cut and break some 1/8" aluminum that a buddy welded up for me with a couple bungs and a threaded filler neck. 20 gallon capacity, modified one bed crossmember so it can sit a little above the frame.

Just for the record the ECE tanks are stainless steel, not aluminum. They cost a little more but well worth it.

If you put these on a 4x4 am I am gonna have to remove the crossmember that is back there apparently the 2 wheel drives dont have that crossmember

Re: would like to see some pics of rear mounted fuel tanks
 

Not trying to be a smartass, but why would you want a stainless tank over aluminum?

The 2wd has a crossmember where the tank goes that needs to be removed. The ECE tank includes a new crossmember that bolts between the rear frame horns and creates a 3-sided box for the tank to mount in.

Stainless is stronger than aluminum, but that's my opinion. If you feel comfortable with an aluminum tank in a potentially precarious location, by all means use it.
