No info. Under the bed doesn't require a lot of money. Just tools and a few hours.

Is the gas the tank is holding for your truck engine or are we talking like an aux. tank for farm equip, race cars, extra gas incase you run out? If it is your primary tank be ready to cut your bed up to run lines to your engine.

You using a stock tank? Electric push pump or mechanical?

Just my opinion but think you would be much happier with moving the tank under the bed. Besides the cost of the kit (tank, sending unit and straps) I doubt I have much more than $50 in cost. I purchased a poly tank from GMC Paul (excellant customer service by the way) and used junk yard parts to complete the install. I have a LWB 4x4 and it did require "notching" a floor support rib, installed the filler thru the driver's side wheel well in the bed. Works great and fills with no back flow. Give it some thought. Really like my under bed tank.
