length with flange is 28 1/2 and width with flange is 23 and has a 5/8 flange all the way around......so tank size is 27 1/4 for length and and 21 3/4 width....from inside frame rail to inside frame rail is 27 3/4 and tank is 27 1/4 it will have a little bit of flange sitting on rails ...will most likely have to add flat stock on rails to get more meat or just strap the tank, and thats with the length going left to right looking at back of truck.......if you flip the tank length going tailgate to cab with gas filler at the back it will just be floating inbetween rails youd have to strap tank....you have to move cross supports.....the tank measure's 8inch's in height and if you put the tank flush to the bottom of the bed supports it hangs down to the bottom of side fenders (bottom of bed support braces to bottom of fender measures around 8 inchs),you would see the tank a little from the back if your not running a bumper.......if you notch the bed support braces like i seen some other guys do it would really tuck up in there... the only thing you would have to do to tank is make the filler stick straight up instead of at a angle......still gonna find out the ohms on sending unit..
