1954 Under Bed Side Tank

Is there a factory style fuel tank that will fit on the inside of the frame under the bed? I would like to run a factory sending unit if possible. Any help would be great.

Very doubtful that youll find anything off the shelf thatll work...just not much room in that area...the best thing to do would be put a tank between the frame rails behind the rear axle..there are several that have been used ..blazer, mustang, aftermarket, such as boyds welding and others..

I used a 1957 Chevy fuel tank between the frame rails located behind the rear axel. I've not seen, not to imply someone doesn't manufacture something, side tanks. Ricks Tanks (http://rickstanks.com) might be able to fab something up for you.
