47-55.1 Under bed gas tank with side feed?

Any GM EFI/TBI tank can work. Then it will be baffled, have return port, breather and can take a combo pump/sender. Then, say an in-tank Walbro or Aeromotive pump for longevity. In the tank, the fuel surrounding the pump will run cooler, so minimize the challenge of " how far can I go on this tank". It shortens the life of the pump.
I just went for the 'Tanks' 50 Chevy for size, EFI ready, custom sender capable for the Bosch gauge and filler location... and it was about the same as anything else new. I think cheaper than what some are charging for the custom between the frame aluminium AD Chevy truck tanks.

I purchased a Boyds Welding LLC 63-72 Side fuel tank, set up for my EFI,
this is on my 58 Cameo and planning on filling just behind the Cameo Taillight
to gain access to the gas fill.

You might want to look over there tanks to see if one will work for your truck?
Happy with mine so far!

No matter how you do it getting the tank out of the cab is the best thing you can do.

did you run tailpipes out the rear past or under the tank? That is one of OP's concerns.

Haven't gotten that far yet, but plan is to run my exhaust up and over each side of the center of the diff OR just under the center of the diff.
I've seen it done both of those ways on other trucks and seams to work? and then maybe along side the tank and out each side?

Got my oldest Son, my Engineer, looking at it to determine the best route, Lol..

Originally Ran mine down before tank due to concerns. The ungodly drone made me reconsider fast and ran them under tank but with sufficient heat clearance. 4" lift gives you many options you don't get on stock or lowered.

I'm doing the same with a C4 FlatOut Engineering Kit on my 55.1 GMC 100!
