I used a 64 Mustang tank. I had to make a mounting bracket because it is narrower than the frame rails but it tucks up nice. The kits that I looked at hung below the bumper and I didn't like that look.

I did a 90's S10 Blazer tank, but the bed floor is also raised 4"

I got one from Boyd’s and it’s awesome. I ran a plastic fuel cell for years and it was horrible.

I did the '94 S10 Blazer tank also. It fit between the frame rails, it's 20 gallons and didn't hang as low as some of the others like the standard issue K5 Blazer tanks. It's also FI ready if you choose to go that route...
