Fuel Cell under the bed? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am buying an 83 SWB for my son and there is a fuel cell sitting in the bed. They guy bought the fuel cell for a hot rod and sold the car before install. I want to put it in my 67 SWB. Has anyone put an actual fuel cell under the bed or did you have to strap it in the bed?

I have an aluminum fuel cell under my bed and it has a lip that bolts to the frame rails where the spare would normaly go and i cut a hole in the wood bed for a filler.

I am also putting a 24x20x10 deep aluminum cell under my bed. I ordered a ECE rear crossmember so it would fit in my SWB.
